Lago Llanquihue

This royal blue lake is Chile's largest and South America's fourth largest lake.

Reviewed By steadyslack - Exeter, United Kingdom

Cows, fields, big trees, rolling hills and glimpses of water; you could be in our English county of Devon!
Apart from a few architectural merits, the towns of Llanquihue, Frutillar and Puerto Octay are scruffy and uninteresting.
The lakeside road the V-155 from Frutillar to Puerto Octay is gravel (2018) so possibly take the main road.

Volcan Osorno

Snow-capped and shaped like a perfect cone, this striking volcano overlooks a beautiful lake.

Reviewed By ACL3112 - UK

It's a great drive (windy and steep) but the views are well worth it. We did no get to the top, we just enjoyed the environment of the National Park. You get a great view of the volcano from Puerto Montt on a clear day.
The town does not offer a great deal, we thought it looked a bit dilapidated - it really i just a gateway to the wonderful country side.

Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales

Reviewed By AnalieseD - Los Angeles, California

The lightest hike you have is 5km uphill in volcanic ash which makes for some rough trekking. The closest mirador is about 6km in. Of note the hikes are largley uncovered so bring a hat/sunscreen. The first mirador was really beautiful. Expect to spend at least 3 hours on the trail, more like 4-5hours.

Lago Todos Los Santos

Sometimes called Lago Esmeralda because of its blue-green color, this strikingly beautiful glacial lake is bordered by steep cliffs.

Stop here first (end of road), take the 30 boat ride, then go back down to Petrohue falls. Both in same National Park. Gorgeous spot!

Museo Antonio Felmer

Reviewed By epuya - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

We came here after going to see and Alerce Forest. Antonio Felmer collected and showcased many old objects used on farms and in farm houses. The trees in the Alerce Forest could be hundreds of years old where the collection in this museum was only a couple hundred years old.
There are stairs to be climbed for the second story.

Teatro del Lago

Reviewed By Dan L - Bunbury, Australia

The Teatro del Lago is a stage theatre and concert hall located on the lakefront in Frutillar.
It includes the 1,178 capacity Espacio Volcán Tronador – Sala Nestlé concert hall; an Amphitheatre Seating 270 and a range of other multipurpose salons and foyers, exhibition areas, rehearsal spaces, conference rooms and congress halls and was inaugurated in 2010, after 12 years of works.
We were too late for the tour and had to make-do with external views. Beautiful building.

Saltos del Petrohue

Reviewed By angeleyes27 - Marlton, New Jersey

This waterfall is in the middle of a national park. The trail is about 15 minutes each way to the falls. There is a very nice visitor center, a crafts vendor, gift shop and free rest rooms. The falls themselves are beautiful especially with the top of the volcano silhouetted in back. We were lucky to have a clear day where the volcano was clearly visible. Be careful on the path as parts are rocky and uneven. I believe it was $6 per person for the entrance fee. There are several excellent viewpoints to take photos, best being the last one. I loved it.

Isla Aucar

Reviewed By natogl - Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile

After visiting a couple of times Muelle de las Ánimas and going this weekend to Aucar, I think Aucar is a much better place.
More accesible, less crowded, quiet and well preserved.
It is not a long walk, but you can enjoy a walk on the island, the island Beaches, watch the tides and the thousands of birds around.
I think it is a must of Chiloe.

Church of Castro

Made entirely of wood, this striking church was designed by an Italian architect in a blend of Neo-Gothic and classic design.

Reviewed By Pedro_L_P_Sanchez - Sao Paulo, SP

Amazing architectural and artistic work. The structure, columns and most of the details are made of carved wood. That is interesting, unique, but it was not what got my attention. What I found most interesting and have not seen a single mention anywhere, was that the external surface of the church is made of hammered sheet metal imitating stones.
