We'll depart Yan Kee Way Lodge and travel through Villa Ensenada to the skirts of Volcano Osorno, to the entrance of Vincente Perez Rosales National Park and the Laguna Verde area. Our expedition takes us along the skirt of the volcano, where we will enjoy the native plant and animal life while proceeding to our destination, "Los Pilleyos". We'll continue into Vincente Perez Rosales National P
ark to visit an area where we may see the glacial run-off from the volcanoes' slopes and glaci
ers, together with other points of interest.
We will then proceed to the famous Petrohué waterfalls or "Los Saltos". The falls were created, first by the enormous lava flows of Osorno Volcano, which cut-off the flow of water between Lake Todo Los Santos and Lago Llanquihue and formed a new outflow from Todo Los Santos, now known as the Petrohué River. The volcanic flows created a rise in the land that immediately came under attack by the power of the river. The lava was, and is being sculpted into unusual forms by the power of river. The flora and fauna of the temperate rainforest abound in this area.
We will take short hikes to "Los enamorados" and "Carrilemu" where we will learn about the different types of rocks, vegetation, and animals that live in this temperate rainforest. We'll complete our expedition with a to visit Todos Los Santos Lake or as it is also known--"Emerald Lake,"--so named for the deep emerald color of its waters. You will want to take photos from the beach while enjoying picnic lunch. Return to Yan Kee Way Lodge. This is special expedition for the family and for those who love the outdoors and wish to see and photograph the flora and fauna of this area. |
