Petrohué River rafting: Small-group descent with volcano viewsRaft the Petrohué River, a Class III descent through Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park in Chile, with a professional guide, helmet, wetsuit and all safety gear included. The route runs for an hour and a half past Calbuco, Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes, with hotel pickup and drop-off arranged. Children from age 12 are welcome when accompanied by an adult; guides speak English, Spanish and Italian.Is it for me?Hotel pickup means you do not need a car or directions to the river—the guide collects you and handles the logistics, so the morning stays simple whether you are staying in town or elsewhere in the area.
Osorno Volcano tour from Puerto Varas: Half-day with lake viewsA half-day tour from Puerto Varas takes you by car to the shore of Llanquihue Lake, where Osorno Volcano—a stratovolcano often compared to Mount Fuji—rises above the water alongside Calbuco. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and your guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese. A minimum of three travelers is required per departure; if your date does not fill, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a free afternoon and want to see two major volcanoes without arranging your own transport or spending a full day away from Puerto Varas. The four-hour window keeps the commitment manageable, and the lake-shore route means you don't need hiking experience or high fitness to enjoy the landscape.
Half-Day Frutillar Tour from Puerto Varas: Lake & Volcano ViewsIf you want to see real southern Chile—lake views, volcanoes, and living German traditions—this half-day Frutillar tour is for you. You’ll get local stories, fresh air, and plenty of time to explore at your own pace.

Osorno Volcano & Petrohué Falls tour: Small-group day tripThis full-day small-group tour from Colon visits Lake Todos los Santos, Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Waterfalls with a local guide, hotel pickup and transport. The tour runs eight to ten hours and operates in all weather; the schedule is flexible and can be extended. A minimum of two people per booking is required, and children from age one are welcome.Is it for me?Most volcano-and-waterfall tours in the region run on a fixed schedule with large groups; this one keeps the group small and lets you adjust the day if you want to linger at any stop. The guide stays with you the whole time and speaks your language, so the history and the landscape make sense as you move through them.
Osorno Volcano & Petrohué Waterfalls tour from Puerto VarasA 10-hour tour from Puerto Varas visits Osorno Volcano, a stratovolcano on the edge of Lake Llanquihue, and Petrohué Waterfalls inside Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park, with a professional guide in English or Spanish and round-trip shared transfer from selected hotels. Food, park entrance fees and the optional boat ride on Todos los Santos Lake are separate costs.Is it for me?Choose the Puerto Varas option if you're based there and want the shortest pickup window; choose the Puerto Montt option if that's where you're staying and prefer not to drive between cities. The ski-lift up Osorno Volcano is optional, so skip it if you want to keep costs down or if you're short on time at that stop.
Puerto Varas & Osorno Volcano: Guided Day Tour with PickupYou’ll travel from Puerto Varas along Llanquihue Lake with a local guide, explore Osorno Volcano’s slopes, stand beside Petrohué’s roaring waterfalls, and breathe in the forest air by Todos los Santos lake. Expect laughter, quiet moments, hotel pickup and drop-off — plus stories you’ll want to tell later.
