DAY 1
Airport transfer to Puerto Varas (arrival from Santiago)
The nearest Airport is El Tepual (PMC) in Puerto Montt. All domestic flights are operated by three local airline companies: Latam, Sky Airlines and JetSmart.
This wonderful circuit can be done by pedaling for three days, the word Llanquihue has an origin in Mapuche language. Hue means place and llancun (fall, sink), that is, “Sunken Place” 186 kilometers, of which more than half are totally paved. You will arrive to various picturesque cities like Puerto Varas, Ensenada, Las Cascadas, Puerto Clocker, Puerto Octay, Frutillar and Llanquihue, famous for the great German influence in its architecture and particularly for the interesting events that take place on summer.
DAY 2
Departing from Puerto Varas, on route 225 heading to Ensenada on east direction, you will quickly reach the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, Passing through the beaches Hermosa and Niklitschek, Punta Cabras and Poza Loreley. In the middle of this paradisiacal refuge of nature is the Green Lagoon, with its intense green color, surrounded by trees and native vegetation, it is a point to forget all the worries and prepare to enjoy what is coming, the majestic view of the Osorno volcano, considered by many geologists as the most perfect volcano in the world, due to its conical shape.
DAY 3
Continuing the journey along the steep bank, you will soon leave behind the national park and enter the area of Las Cascadas, the lush native vegetation is wonderful. At this point, the immensity of the Osorno volcano is appreciated in all its splendor. The main attraction of this site are its beautiful waterfalls.
You will arrive later at El Maitén beach, where you can see a very old chapel with a plaque that recalls the hundredth anniversary of the arrival of German settlers in these areas. A few kilometers further north is Puerto Octay, a little town full of German architecture, the Centinel Beach has one of the best views of the area.
DAY 4
If you continue the tour around the lake, now heading south, along a paved road, the panoramic view is unforgettable, as you can see three volcanoes, Osorno, Puntiagudo and Calbuco.
Reaching Frutillar with German-style buildings, a perfect place to taste the delicious German kuchens on most of the restaurants that are on the coastal avenue.
Every year between January 27 and February 5 a classical music festival takes place, an occasion in which the city dresses up to welcome tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy the show.
You will continue along the coastal road reaching one of the most beautiful beaches of the zone: Totoral, located 5 km north of Llanquihue. Then you will reach the town of Llanquihue, which receives its name from the homonymous lake and this, in turn, from the Mapuche and is composed of llancln (“to be hidden”, “to get lost”, “to fall”) and we (“place”), which could be translated into Spanish as “sunken place”, or “hidden place”. And then back to Puerto Varas, where your journey began.
