Lake District

Famous for its spectacular panorama of rolling hills scattered with bright emerald and colbolt-blue lakes, snow-capped mountains and wild forests, Chile’s Lake District is awe-inspiring. Aside from the sheer beauty of it all, there is no shortage of activities including walking, trekking, sailing, fishing, horse riding, cycling and kayaking.

Puerto Montt, in Chile’s southern Lake District, is the starting point for some of the most amazing cruises imaginable through the fjords and hanging valleys of the glacial Chilean coastline. The region is home to the indigenous Mapuche tribe, who defended the land against the Spanish conquistadors for 300 years and who still reside there today.

Chile’s Lake District hugs the Argentine Lake District making a visit to both regions an unforgettable trip for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
