What's included in the package

Itinerary

Saltos del Petrohue

After your ship docks in Puerto Montt, you will ride onboard your air-conditioned private vehicle and begin your journey to Petrohue Waterfalls located in Vicente Perez Rosales National park. Once we get to the national park where the Petrohue River Waterfalls are, you'll then embark on an easy walk with your guide to a pathway that leads to the falls. You will see waterfalls tumbling over a lip of volcanic rock, with waters turning beautiful shades of blue and green. Surrounded by a thick forest, the falls stand against the gorgeous backdrop of Osorno Volcano, making for amazing photo opportunities.

Admission Ticket Included

You will head back south to the town of Puerto Varas. Puerto Varas was colonized by German settlers and is known for its German traditions, beer seafood, natural scenery and luxurious hotels. This town is located on the shores of Llanquihue Lake and the perfect cone of Osorno Volcano and the snow-capped peaks of Mt. Calbuco and Mt Tronador are visible from the lakefront. You can enjoy having a German beer (madein Chile) or walking around town filled with fragrant roses and historical statues that represent the history and founding of the town. If you enjoy shopping for souvenirs to take back home or simply enjoy looking at the local crafts this is a great place to do it.

Lago Llanquihue (Pass-by Only)

You will border this enormous, breathtaking lake all day long during your tour!

Volcan Osorno (Pass-by Only)

Breathtaking Volcano Osorno will be in view all day long if the skies are clear. You will be able to get pictures at every stop (weather dependent).

Teatro del Lago

After you have walked around town accompanied by your expert guide, head to the van where you will go see the monumental “Theatre of the Lake” of Frutillar.

Museo Colonial Aleman (Pass-by Only)

Here, you shall enjoy seeing the majestic German houses with beautiful gardens full of fragrant roses, and the begonias. If time allows (cruise passengers) you will go inside and see how the Germans lived back in the 1800's.

Additional Information

Hey there! Our adventure kicks off at the Puerto Montt Cruise Port. If you're coming from a hotel, let's meet up at Angelmó 1840, Puerto Montt, Los Lagos, Chile. We'll send you all the meetup details 30 days before the tour to get you set. Since the port requires a little boat ride from the ship to shore (tendering), it's a good idea to come ashore a bit early. Ship schedules can be a bit unpredictable, arriving a tad early or a bit late, but don't worry, we've got it covered. We adjust our times based on the ship's arrival so you won't miss a moment of fun with us. To keep things simple and synced up for everyone, we've got a handy timing plan: if your ship docks at 7 am, we aim to meet at 8 am; for an 8 am arrival, we'll meet at 9 am, and so on. This way, we all start together and make sure we have loads of time to explore our local area. Can't wait to share the beauty of our region with you! Attire Tips: To make sure you're comfy all day, we recommend dressing in layers. The mornings here can be a bit brisk, but it tends to get warmer as the day goes on. And a friendly tip - don't forget your sunscreen! Even when it's cooler out, the sun can be stronger here because of the thinner ozone layer. This way, you can enjoy every moment safely and comfortably. If you're looking for private tour options, adjust your total group size to 4, 6 or 8 to see pricing. Or check out our group discounts by adjusting group size to 10, 12 or 14.

Great tour. Our guide Benjamin was wonderful as well as our driver. Vicente Perez Rosales Park is beautiful and the waterfalls were very nice. We stopped at an overlook in Puerto Varas having some wine and delicious empanadas. We were able to do some shopping and see the beach of Llanqiihue Lake...
