Lake Esmeralda, Petrohue River & Puerto Varas

Board your transportation and with the magnificent snow-capped Osorno volcano as a backdrop, you'll head into the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, Chile's oldest national park. Covering over 619,900 acres it's home to Todos los Santos, known as Esmeralda Lake for its brilliant emerald color. When you arrive, you'll board a catamaran for a leisurely cruise out onto the lake. Sit back, relax and marvel at the glorious view. After 45 minutes on the lake, you'll head to a restaurant for lunch followed by a trip to Petrohue Falls. Perched at the foot of Osorno, the Falls also feature that beautiful turquoise color. Next is a stop in the charming town of Puerto Varas to shop for artwork, craftwork and souvenirs at a handicraft market before re-boarding your ship.
