| We will follow the old Jesuit route between lakes Todos los Santos and Rupanco through pristine native rainforest. The extremely picturesque area of El Callao offers the most idyllic setting for a trekking tourist. The valley which crosses Vicente Pérez Rosales and Puyehue National Parks is one of the few virgin valleys of this area, with waterfalls, rivers, hot springs and lakes. We will enjoy views of volcanoes Puntiagudo, Osorno and Tronador. This trekking or riding excursion which includes El Callao hot springs is ideal to have a good time with friends, doing some exercise and enjoying nature combined with having a taste of Chilean cuisine. |
