We start
early in the morning to drive up the steep flanks of the Osorno
to the area of La Burbuja where we start the tour to the summit
of Osorno. At a low speed which allows to observe the landscape,
it takes 6 to 7 hours to hike up to the summit four of which
with mountaineering equipment (crampons, ice axe etc.) The
way back takes 3 to 4 hours. From the top of the Osorno you
have a fabulous panoramic view over Volcanos Calbuco, Tronador,
Puntiagudo, Yates and having good sight you can look until
the volcanoes Lanin and Villarica at a distance of more than
300 km (180 miles). At the summit we can stay until about
3:00pm maximum to enjoy the great view. We get back to La
Burbuja area at about 7:00pm and go on to Ensenada and Puerto
Varas.We also offer a two day’s trip to climb Osorno,
which is strongly recommended especially to novices to use
the time advantage to get comfortable with the equipment and
basic mountaineering techniques. Our passengers use to enjoy
a magic night on the volcano under the sky exploding with
millions of brilliant stars. Just imagine yourself gazing
up at the stars and into inifinite space....
