🇨🇱 Osorno Volcano: Chile’s "Mount Fuji" Road Trip Adventure! 🚗🏔️
The Journey Begins... ✈️ Flew from Puerto Natales → Puerto Montt 🚗 Surprise upgrade! Got a Hyundai Tucson (score! 😎). 🌋 Osorno Volcano: The Highlights • Nicknamed "Chile’s Fuji" for its perfect cone shape ❄️🗻 • Drive up the winding roads – Watch forests fade into volcanic shrubs 🌿➡️🌋 • Cable car (weekends only in autumn) 🚡 – Or hike like a champ to the snow line! 🥾 My Epic (Grueling!) Hike • No trails? No problem! Climbed through thick volcanic ash (40° slope! 😰). • "Two steps up, one slide back" – But the snow-line victory dance was WORTH IT! ❄️💃 • Reward? 360° views of Lake Llanquihue + surrounding peaks! 🌊⛰️ ⚠️ Brutally Honest Tips 1️⃣ NO facilities – Bring water, snacks, and sun protection (it’s brutally sunny!). ☀️🥵 2️⃣ Not for the faint-hearted – 2.5-hour scramble; fitness required! 💪 3️⃣ Tour groups? They won’t let you hike freely – go DIY! 🚫👨👩👧👦 🍽️ Food Alert • Restaurant closed (off-season) – Pack a picnic! 🥪🍎 #ChileRoadTrip #OsornoVolcano #HikeItYourWay #NoRegrets #TravelForTheBrave 🌋✨
