Excursion sur le volcan Osorno, les chutes Petrohue et le rivage de Puerto Varas
Description
Profitez du meilleur du sud du Chili lors de cette excursion. Un guide vous attendra à votre port de croisière ou à votre hôtel et vous emmènera en excursion. Vous visiterez la célèbre station de ski du volcan Osorno et aurez une vue imprenable sur le lac Llanquihue et le volcan Calbuco depuis le sommet. Vous pouvez prendre l'ascenseur de ski qui fonctionne toute l'année si vous n'avez pas envie de marcher. Pour le déjeuner, tout en profitant de la vue, offrez-vous un déjeuner de style pique-nique (gratuit) de boeuf cuit au four empanada chilien avec un verre de vin rouge et blanc. Après cela, dirigez-vous vers le sud pour explorer la ville allemande de Puerto Varas, plus connue sous le nom de ville des roses. Si le temps le permet, sur le chemin du retour, nous irons visiter des lamas et des alpagas amicaux qui adorent être nourris.

Itinéraire
Une fois votre navire amarré à Puerto Montt, vous monterez à bord de votre véhicule privé climatisé et commencerez votre voyage vers les cascades de Petrohue. Une fois arrivés au parc national Vicente Peres Rosales, où se trouvent les cascades de la rivière Petrohue, vous embarquerez dans une promenade facile avec votre guide vers un sentier menant aux chutes. Vous verrez des cascades déferler sur un rebord de roche volcanique, avec des eaux prenant de belles nuances de bleu et de vert. Entourées d'une épaisse forêt, les chutes se dressent dans la magnifique toile de fond du volcan Osorno, offrant ainsi d'incroyables occasions de prendre des photos.
Profitez de la route panoramique qui mène au volcan Osorno jusqu'à la station de ski. Ici, vous pouvez explorer à pied pendant votre temps libre ou même emprunter les remontées mécaniques qui fonctionnent toute l'année. Emerveillez-vous du sommet au volcan Calbuco (voisin du volcan Osorno) et au lac à couper le souffle du lac Llanquihue.
Profitez d'un déjeuner de style pique-nique qui comprend un empanada chilien au bœuf cuit au four et un verre de vin rouge et blanc tout en admirant la vue sur le volcan.
Puerto Varas Vous retournerez au sud vers la ville de Puerto Varas. Puerto Varas a été colonisée par les colons allemands et est connue pour ses traditions allemandes, ses fruits de mer à la bière, ses paysages naturels et ses hôtels de luxe. Cette ville est située sur les rives du lac Llanquihue et constitue le cône parfait du volcan Osorno et des sommets enneigés du mont. Calbuco et le mont Tronador sont visibles du bord du lac. Vous pourrez siroter une bière allemande (madein Chile) ou vous promener dans la ville remplie de roses parfumées et de statues historiques qui représentent l’histoire et la fondation de la ville. Si vous aimez acheter des souvenirs à ramener chez vous ou tout simplement regarder l'artisanat local, c'est un excellent endroit pour le faire.

Emily and George provided an excellent tour with GV tours. We were given lots of local information and it was very friendly and casual.
Our tour was altered because it did not meet the minimum attendees. However, the alternate tour was a real great surprise to us. Emily, the tour guide and the driver George have given us a very excellent and enjoyable tour. Their personalities and services are very recommendable! We had a very good and enjoyable day!
Overall tour was good . I’d sited spent more time at the National Park and not gone to the larger of the two towns we visited
We all really enjoyed this. The length of the trip was perfect and the range of activities made it very interesting. The scenery is breathtaking (helped that it was sunny), the geology was fascinating (e.g., three volcanoes), and the towns we visited had a wonderful (German) cultural flare! Our tour guide, Ignacio, spoke very good English and had very interesting things to tell us about all along the Journey. More importantly, he was extremely kind and courteous, especially in the effort he made to answer questions. Our diver, Eligío “kept the trains running on time” and was most helpful with helping us on and off the bus and serving our snack! I highly recommend this trip! Job well done!
Yuan was amazing. He was humble, informative and best of all a Mapuchi! His love of greenery,water and nature is obvious and a refreshive prespective.Even though Mt Osorno was clouded most of our tour he said patience and indeed we had perfect shots. Highly recommend this local guide with GV tours
Eric was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. As we were on a smaller bus we were able to get to areas that the larger buses were unable to go. This excursion is well worth the cost. Better than anything the ship had offered.
After tendering in from our ship which unfortunately was late, there was some confusion initially at the gate to the terminal about which list we were on. Eventually someone found our name and we were led to a small mini van that could hold 12 people. There were some other people from our ship that were held up on the tender so we waited for quite some time until all 10 of us had arrived. Our guide was a young woman and this was her first tour. She was extremely nervous and not overly confident. There were some facts that she provided that were inaccurate such as population numbers and such but not a huge deal. The weather was quite overcast so the only time we got to see the Volcano was from across a lake when we stopped at a rest stop. The guide decided it was to overcast to actually go to the volcano so that was of course very disappointing. We proceeded to the Petrohue Falls which is a very nice area but more like rapids rather than traditional falls. The sun came out for a short time while we were there. We then went to a lake area where we had empanadas and wine in the back of the van because it was pouring. From there we drove to Port Varas which was a pretty town with a very German influence. Didn't really receive a lot of information or background about the town. We were given some time to walk around but about half way through it started to rain again so we just waited for the van to come and get us to return to the ship. The rain certainly impacted the success of the day but of course that is no one's fault. But combined with a guide who wasn't very engaging made it even more of a letdown. While we were happy to see the natural beauty of this area there could have been some improvements to the overall tour.
Tour guide and staff were wonderful and very informative. We unfortunately had a rainy/cloudy day so our view of the volcano was a bit obscured, however, they did a good job of incorporating other aspects of their town. They also allowed us to vote to retime our route to avoid local protests going on which was much appreciated.
The rain made seeing Osorno Volcano and Petrohue Falls impossible. The tour persisted on a mendacious excursion in an attempt to not refund our money. The tour operator admitted that the fog made seeing the volcano impossible and they decided not to drive us to the volcano to not see it. They instead decided to drive us to the falls to get rained on from sideways driving rain and see very little waterfall. It was utterly unimpressive. We also had to cross the only road to the falls and it was partially washed out. We had to wait for it to be cleared and then cross. Then on the return the same road was in far worse condition and we had to wait an hour or more for the road to be cleared (hopefully) and race across the perilous road to escape. If we get washed off the road we fall into a ravine and surely all die. Don't just skim past that part - we had a real chance of certain death, not a high percentage but an actual chance of death. Not something you should ignore when choosing an operator and an excursion. In the end we saw almost nothing and spent most of our time in a van going nowhere. You will spend 51% or more of your time in transit and not actually enjoying anything. In my case the 49% or less was a total loss. I was wet to the bone and my seat was soaking wet as the rain came in all over my seat. The tour guide new very little a cursory Google search couldn't uncover. It was if someone from another city picked up a side gig working tours because they could speak some English, but they had no firsthand knowledge of anything other than the tourist traps. Save your money and just take an uber. You will spend 90% less on that uber and have an even better experience. You won't be waiting on 15 people in a van.
Don't use this general contracting company. It rained and instead of cancel and refund our money, we were given the option of pointlessly going out in the rain and seeing almost nothing. We were scheduled to see volcanoes but the heavy fog from the rain made this impossible, so instead we got to go into the driving rain (raining sideways) and look at a tiny waterfall in some park. We got to visit some indistinguishable towns with generic tourist traps and nothing notable to see. The towns may have had some culture and charm, but in an hour or an hour and a half you don't see any of that. Again it was cold and raining most of the time we were on foot walking around some town. You are paying money to sit in a crowded van over 50% of the time the 'tour' is going on. This really isn't worth your time. Save a ton of money and take an uber with two or three people ($5-$10 instead of $90 or more). In conclusion: the tour was completely ruined by rain, but in an effort to keep our money the tour company created a complete sham and just drove us around places with nothing to see.
