Operated by Tangol · Puerto Varas, Los Lagos Region
You step out of the Turistour office into a chill morning that smells of lake water and wet pine. Buses rumble away from Puerto Varas, hugging the shore of Llanquihue as the silhouette of Osorno volcano sharpens against the sky.

Islands and volcanic spires slide past; sunlight catches the basalt at Petrohué and the river spits white against sculpted rock.
