Combine the waterfall spectacle of Petrohué with a curated tasting of southern Chilean wines and smoked regional delicacies in the lakeside towns of Puerto Varas and Frutillar — a gourmet and scenic fusion that is the definitive Lake District experience for the food-forward traveller.
What to expect
The morning begins at Petrohué Falls, where you walk the lava-rock trail to the rushing turquoise cascades inside Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. The afternoon shifts to the cultured lakeside world of Puerto Varas, where German-heritage architecture and a thriving artisan food scene intersect. A hosted tasting introduces you to the under-the-radar wines of the Los Lagos region alongside house-smoked meats, artisan cheeses, and freshly baked küchen. The guide's bilingual narrative weaves together geology, immigration history, and terroir seamlessly.
