Región de Los Lagos encompasses the southern end of Chile's Central Valley and the beginning of Patagonia. This selection spans from the shores of Lake Llanquihue, framed by the conical Osorno Volcano, to the Chiloé Archipelago, known for its UNESCO-listed wooden churches and traditional palafitos (stilt houses). Key sites include the turquoise Petrohué Cascades, the vast Pumalín Douglas Tompkins National Park, and the cultural hub of Frutillar, reflecting the region's German colonial influence and indigenous Huilliche heritage.

Lakes and Waterfalls

The Los Lagos region features a diverse collection of aquatic landmarks, including the glacial-fed Llanquihue Lake, Chile's second-largest inland body of water. The area is defined by the emerald-colored Todos los Santos Lake and the Saltos de Petrohué, where water cascades over ancient basaltic lava flows. Thermal activity is prominent at the Puyehue and El Amarillo hot springs, while the Humedal de Quinchao provides a vital habitat for migratory birds. High-altitude features include the Ventisquero Negro glacier on Mount Tronador and the fjord-like Yelcho Lake in southern Palena.

Iconic Chilean Volcanoes

The Los Lagos region of southern Chile is defined by the Southern Volcanic Zone, featuring a diverse range of volcanic landforms from the perfectly symmetrical cone of Osorno to the rhyolitic caldera of Chaitén. This collection includes highly active stratovolcanoes like Calbuco, which last erupted significantly in 2015, and the extinct basaltic peaks of Cerro Pantoja. These geological features have shaped the surrounding terrain, creating glacial lakes, maars, and unique ecosystems that characterize the Chilean Lake District.
