5 reviewed
These 5 puerto varas & lake district tours earn their place, each with what it costs, how long it runs and who it suits. The rest of the category sits below them.
Puerto Varas tour to Osorno Volcano viewpoints and Petrohué Falls, with big Lake Llanquihue scenery and a 7-hour Patagonia loop.
“Our guide Paula was very informative and really high energy. We didn't have the best weather but the trip was still great. Good way to see a few things around the area.”
Puerto Montt day trip to Osorno Volcano and Petrohué Falls, with glacier views, lava-polished turquoise water, and small-group comfort.
“We did get to see the three locations listed and the time at each one was appropriate. The locations were great and worth visiting. Pick up was efficient and on time. I know it was disclosed but for the benefit of others, you should know that each site does require you to pay for the activity over and above the tour. Here are the costs: waterfalls entry-6000; boat ride-6000; volcano ski lift ride-33,000; lunch stop-20,000. This actually exceeds the cost of the tour in the first place. These were all optional as you could wait for the group at the van. We skipped the restaurant and simply had a drink…”
Palafitos, ferry crossing, and Chilean crafts on Chiloe Island from Puerto Varas in a 10-hour day trip, with hotel transfer.
“it was overall a good tour. The highlight was the boat tour to the palafitos, that was an optional thing and had to pay extra 6.000 CLP . The cities in Chiloe were cute but not something spectatular.”
Puerto Varas to Peulla day trip with a bus through national park and a catamaran across Todos los Santos Lake, ending in free time.
“El guía Alfredo es súper claro y chistoso, salimos puntuales, rico el almuerzo en Peulla (no está incluido), hicimos tour safari en Peulla increíble”
Sail emerald Todos Los Santos Lake to Peulla, then enjoy Patagonia volcano views and optional adventure in a tiny Andean Crossing village.
“There is absolutely nothing to see a Peulla. Good only if you go to the Argentina side. 4hours of boat for nothing. Could have just go to petrohue and take Little boat of 30 minutes + and stay around volcano. Left at 7:30 to come back at 21:00 with lit of traffic. But the visit to the Park and his cascadas is nice. Can be fine with othe tour not including Peulla”
