Instead of going to the Torre del Paine like everybody else, we choose to explore this much less known parc, and it is an emerald of nature! Very good hiking paths, not crowded and so many things to explore!!!

Only 14km from Puerto Varas, this environment and biodiversity Conservation Park consists of 150 hectares of native forest, fields, sunken forest on Maullin River and a wild animal rehabilitation center. Please we need your Reservation to give you the schedule, price and timing for your visit. There, we offer several activities, all guided, such as trekking the forests, navigation through the sunken forest, fly-fishing, bird watching and a tour at the wild animal center. Your visit can last from one hour and a half to six hours, depending on the activities you choose to do. In the park we also have a "fogon" (room where we cook with fire and eat) where you can enjoy a great homemade lunch (advance reservation necessary) and a big room where a large number of people can find shelter for an event. Our principal goal is to protect our environment by making it known and giving each visitor a unique and personal experience with the environment. A big hug
My husband and I arrived in the morning sun to the beautiful setting of the main house on the river bank. We were met by Silvio and his staff who were most welcoming. They did not admit until we were eating the fantastic lunch of steak from the associated cattle farm that they had not been told by our tour operator that my husband was suffering with a foot injury and unable to walk well on uneven or sloping ground: Appearing with a wheeled walking frame the team quietly sorted a personalised tour for us. With much help and support given in an appropriate and friendly manner we both were able to relax in the small shallow metal boat and let Silvio guide us engineless through the beautiful sunken forest. His knowledge helped us understand the fragility of the Eco system within the world we had entered. We have travelled quite broadly but never experienced anything like this before The rescue and conservation areas were inspiring. The rescued Pumas, wild cat, owl, and birds all had their own stories of why they were there. The programme to support increasing the numbers of endangered Pudu deer was explained (and the 3 day old baby beautiful) They told us how they had 45 eggs given to them by the police rescued from the illegal egg collectors and had hand reared the parakeet chicks so that they might soon be released back to the wild. The star of the show was the baby starling in his hand made nest in the restaurant who happily chirped for more food having been rescued from the jaws of death almost at birth. Lunch - the most amazing steak we have had (from Silvio's cattle) cooked to perfection and serenaded by the family. We both wish Silvo, his family and team every success in preserving thus safe haven for the future. He deserves much support for the passion he clearly has for sustaining this exquisite environment

This is a wonderful place. It's a private nature reserve where the owner will give you a tour of the special forest. You must ring first to arrange a time. It costs 10,000 pesos and is worth every penny. You learn so much about the forest and its wildlife. The owner has a wealth of knowledge about the trees, geology, flora and birds. You find it at km 15 on the road down to Cucao. (20 minutes from the Hostal Palafito- also highly recommended!)

This royal blue lake is Chile's largest and South America's fourth largest lake.
We spent almost a day driving around the lake and discovered a stunningly beautiful part of chile. The view is constantly changing: mountains, volcanoes, lake, forests, green meadows, gently rolling hills and charming little towns like german influenced Frutillar or Puerto Octay. A must do when you are in the area.

Snow-capped and shaped like a perfect cone, this striking volcano overlooks a beautiful lake.
We'd heard that it's often cloudy and many days you can't see the peak, but we saw it all day long. In fact, we drove up the winding road to the ski lift which we took all the way up to the snow line. So beautiful!

Sometimes called Lago Esmeralda because of its blue-green color, this strikingly beautiful glacial lake is bordered by steep cliffs.
We arrived at the lake in time to get the ferry to Puella but the trip takes 6 hours (including 3 hours at Puella, a small town with nothing much to do once there). We managed to take a trip on a smaller boat as recommend by the many selling ferry tickets and had one and a half hours on the lake. We went out round the Isla Margarita and back. We were lucky to have fantastic weather with view of all the surrounding volcanoes and mountains and had a wonderful trip. Having saved several hours we then got stuck on the road back out of Petrohue for and hour and a half whilst workman laid a pipe but you can't have everything. A beautiful place in the sunshine...

We absolutely loved this road trip and would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous heart. No, the hotels are not great and the road conditions tend to be poor, but no one should some to this part of the world looking for luxury. This trip is 100% and the incredible natural beauty of remote Patagonia. We have been all over South America, and this is the single most incredible stretch of wilderness we have encountered, even surpassing Torres del Paine. The only gripe we had was how difficult it was to find any relevant information about the trip and what to expect. We did ours in a small 4x4 rented round trip from Puerto Montt. After driving all the way to Caleta Tortel, we returned to Coyhaique and crossed into Argentina. We then linked this trip into another week on Route 40 and the Seven Lakes before crossing back into Chile at Cardenal Samore. Absolutely a perfect adventure.
