Private Osorno Volcano & Petrohué Falls Shore Excursion

Ascend the flanks of the iconic snow-capped Osorno Volcano and stand beside the thundering turquoise cascades of Petrohué Falls inside Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park — Chile's oldest. A private guided day that distills the raw Andean drama of the Lake District into one unforgettable journey.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you dockside and whisks you along the shores of Lake Llanquihue with Osorno's perfect cone as your constant companion. At the national park, you hike the short trail to Petrohué Falls where the Petrohué River churns through ancient black-lava channels into brilliant aquamarine pools. The ascent toward the Osorno ski station rewards you with vertiginous views across multiple Andean lakes. Midday, pause for a lakeside picnic or artisan lunch before returning in time for all-aboard.

Good to know

Pre-book well in advance for port days — this is the single most sought-after private excursion in Puerto Montt. The drive is ~1.5 hrs each way; all-aboard is typically 18:00. Wear waterproof layers — the falls generate considerable mist and the volcano elevation can be cool even in summer.
