It’s not a winter weekend in Southern Chile without 3 things: lakes, active volcanos, and rain.
The last few weekends I ventured into the Araucania and Los Lagos regions. Along with Los Rios, they make up Chile’s famous “Lakes District”, the gateway to Patagonia and one of Chile’s most beautiful areas.
This is a tribute to the beauty of Southern Chile. From Villarica street art to the rivers of Petrohue. It’s indescribable.
Valdivia
Petrohue. Take a 40 minute bus ride from the town of Puerto Varas and here you are!
Volcano Osorno at Petrohue. Standing here, you’re surrounded by roaring rapids and moving water. It’s powerful.
Villarica is known for its artisan markets.
Colorful wool and knit-wear is the signature of the south.
Sophie, Fred & Maribel. Our Villarica getaway.
Sophie, directing our 1-million point turn. One day, we decided to rent a car and drive to Parque Conguillio, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of Chile’s most famous national parks. However, the rain and snow was no match for our tiny car.
Gorgeous Petrohue photos! And I’m really excited about Pucon and Villarica now :)
