Chile's aptly named Lake District is a major highlight of many tours to and in Chile. It has been likened to Switzerland, but Chile's spectacular arrangement of lakes, volcanos, rivers and waterfalls stand completely on its own as a major travel destination.
Chile's Lake District is famous for its spectacular scenery of deep blue mountain lakes, snow-capped volcanos, pristine beauty of alerce (larch) forests, year-round sports, and traditional folklore, handicrafts and legends. There are five major lakes in the district, with dozens more dotting the landscape. Between the lakes there are rivers, waterfalls, forests, thermal hot springs, and the Andes, including six volcano. This area is very rich in flora and fauna, particularly so in birds and marine mammals. Just have a look on the pictures below:

Osorno Volcano
Volcano Osorno with it's perfect white cone often draped in dainty lenticular clouds and laced with crevasses and seracs is considered to be one of the most beautiful and perfectly formed volcanoes of the world. From it's summit, an isle type glacier, you have an overwhelming view over the lakes Llanquihue, Todos los Santos, Ranco and Rupanco and over large forested hills. You can observe Petrohue River's peculiar right-hand hook away from Llanquihue Lake. During some ancient eruption, a lava flow poured off of Osorno and diverted the Río Petrohué 90 degrees overnight. Volcano Osorno is part of Chile's eldest National Park, the Vicente Perez Rosales and Chile's lake district. It's height is of 2652 m (8825 ft).

Calbuco Volcano
Calbuco Volcano (2003 m) lies within the protective area Llanquihue. Its main attractions are the supreme outlook over Llanquihue Lake with Osorno Volcano in the background to the north and Chapo lake and Reloncaví Fiord with Chiloé in the background to the south as well as its diverse landscapes from native forest, mountain landscapes forged by former volcanic activities, glaciers and last but not least its still active crater close to its summit..
