Parque Nacional Vicente Pérez Rosales is a protected area in southern Chile's Lake District. It’s known for Petrohué Falls, which flow down volcanic rock chutes etched by lava. Nearby are the green waters of Lake Todos los Santos and the snow-capped Osorno Volcano to the west. Tronador Volcano is visible in the far east on the Argentinean border. The park is crossed by trails and is home to pumas and tiny pudú deer.

A few beautiful walks at 3 seperate locations. Only the Saltos sector costs money to enter. It is also the most popular sector.

We drove up to the volcano to hike. Great drive, easy roads and well marked. We saw a Darwin Fox on the way up the mountain. Not fast enough to snap a pic of him. It was so windy at the top! Whoa!

Stopped at to a little restaurant at the parking lot to warm up with hot chocolate and hot tea. Highly recommend warm clothes, glasses or other eye covering for the dust/wind factor and a positive attitude. It was fun!...
