Untouched nature at Reloncavi Fiord (full day from Puerto Varas)
In the morning we set out along the southern shore of Lago Llanquihue. Osorno Volcano stands tall behind the lake. From Ensenada we turn south and continue on to Ralún which sits at the upper end of the Reloncaví estuary. Ralún is a small, peaceful fishing village and we shall take the time to walk around and explore. The fiord is full of birds, sea lions and dolphins. In the afternoon we shall continue on to the town of Cochamó where there is a small historic church built at the turn of the century of Alerce. It sits in a striking setting with the fiord in the background. This excursion is designed to be less active, and so for those who wish for a short hike some terrific scenery awaits them along the crystal clear waters of the Cochamó River.
