Yesterday I was lucky enough to be given a tour of the area to the south east of Osorno around Lake Llanquihue. We visited Petrohué waterfalls and their nearby rapids...
and also Osorno volcano, which is currently inactive. This volcano is also a ski resort during the winter months (June-September) and has ski-lifts which carry the skiers up the slopes. During the summer months (now) the lifts usually carry people up the lower slopes as they venture towards the summit. Unfortunately for me the clouds were so low when I visited, that the lifts weren´t in operation and it was unsafe to climb the volcano in the mist ... I´ll just have to find another volcano to climb!
After venturing up Osorno Volcano we headed to Todos Los Santos lake which is a deep green colour and really clear. Afterwards we took a boat to explore the lake for a couple of hours before continuing on our journey.
The most bizarre sight of the day was seeing a local man drive his car into the lake and then proceed to wash his car whilst his wife sat inside ... this really made me smile!
