Great trip

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We moved around the lake counter-clockwise and started with the hike to Cascada waterfall. After the hike we visited the three historical towns, having a nice lunch at Puerto Octay. The tour has a nice mix of walking and riding. We enjoyed the company of Paula, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Our only suggestion would be to have more time in Frutillar (only one hour in our case).
