Itinerary
Explore the stunning beauty of the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park with this exciting "Trek and Relax in Playa El Rincón" experience.
The adventure begins from your hotel in Puerto Varas early in the morning, heading towards the Ensenada Trail, approximately 60 km away, until we reach the emblematic Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. This park, the oldest in Chile established in 1926, covers more than 250,000 hectares and is located mainly in the province of Llanquihue. It is a landscape shaped by volcanoes, tectonic processes and glaciers, creating a unique part of the Andes Mountains.
We will begin our approximately 6 km trek from the Petrohué sector, following a well-marked trail through lush jungle forests, where we can admire a diversity of endemic flora. This park is part of the Temperate Rain Forest Biosphere Reserve of the Southern Andes, home to species such as cinnamon, coigüe, patagua and pitra.
During the tour, we will enjoy impressive panoramic views that include the majestic Todos los Santos Lake and the imposing Osorno Volcano. Don't forget your camera to capture these unforgettable moments. The local fauna offers us the opportunity to spot mammals such as the pudú, pumas, guiñas and the wild cat, as well as birds such as the Corrientes duck, the black woodpecker and the kingfisher.
We will descend towards the coast of Lake Todos los Santos, a stretch that can be steep in some points, so we recommend caution. Upon reaching the bottom, we will be rewarded with one of the park's hidden treasures: the spectacular "Playa El Rincón". This quiet bay of volcanic sand invites us to rest, swim in its crystal-clear waters and enjoy a snack while we relax surrounded by the natural beauty that surrounds us.
On the way back, we'll stop by the cozy Kataratas Grill cafeteria, where you can enjoy local flavors such as salmon sandwiches or homemade sweets (not included), before ending the day and returning to your hotel in Puerto Varas.
This adventure promises to be an unforgettable experience that you will remember forever, perfect for those who want to explore the best of nature in the southern tip of the world.
