About this activity

Just a day activity that gives you one of the best views of the Llanquihue Lake basin from above. And to get a closer look at the glacier of the Osorno volcano.

If you are used to hiking in mountainous terrain, the ascent will be easy and probably fast, so the surroundings and what you can see from there will be your main gain. If this is your first time trekking on a volcano, or you are simply not used to this type of activity, you will enjoy an unforgettable challenge and be rewarded with memories that can only be captured from the top of a mountain.

Itinerary

We will hike up to the glacier of Osorno volcano and on the way, we will watch the sun rising over the Andes and enjoy the shadow of the volcano over the lake. It is not a long trek, only about 3 kilometers one way, but with a significant altitude to gain: just over 1,000 meters. Once at the end of the trail (2,100 masl), if the conditions of the glacier are good enough, we will walk on it towards a place called "La Isla", that is the point on the mountain where the slope changes drastically, from where we can admire the mountain and its terrain from close up. After reaching our highest point and with good memories of the dawn, we will return by the same route to the transport and, if you wish, we will have time to enjoy the services of the mountain lodge Teski. When the weather forecast shows rain or snow, the trekking changes its goal from enjoying the panoramic views to experiencing mountain trekking in adverse conditions. To feel the wind and push our own limits, knowing that we will have a couple of places to protect us and rest, and a cozy refuge to be back, take out our wet clothes, and enjoy a warm drink. To experience our way more than the point that we want to reach!
