Petrohué in Chile

Petrohué Tours

Petrohué is nestled between the Lago Todos los Santos and at the base of the Osorno volcano. 64 km from Puerto Varas and 84 km from Puerto Montt, it is a gem of the Chilean Lake District. Petrohué is an indigenous word that means smoking place, most likely due to the steam that rises from the waterfall of Petrohué. Visitors hike the 6 km to the beautiful Saltos (waterfalls) and behind the hosteria there are several popular trails leading up to the top of Osorno. Few places in the world offer such access to so much: volcanoes, rivers, glaciers, islands, and mountains! A fascinating place for those who appreciate adventure and life in great outdoors.
