After a short introduction to the area’s geology and botanic we start our horse ride crossing Hueño River towards Calbuco Volcano. Here we penetrate into a small forest to go on upstream along the riverside. We come to know Nalca forests (a plant with its leafs similar to those of rhubarbs – just much bigger) the sticks of which are used for salads and its giant leafs for Curantos a traditional seafood meal. While we cross a pine plantation the soil becomes a black tone because of the growing content of volcanic dust which has been accumulated in this area when the Calbuco erupted in 1961 pouring a stream of lava and burning down parts of the forest.
This ride offers beautiful vistas to Osorno Volcano and you are encouraged to swim in Hueñu-Hueñu River and you will learn much about native vegetation and local geology etc.
