Take a trip to the beautiful city of Puerto Varas, also knows as "La Cuidad de las Rosas," or, "The City of Roses," with its absolutely gorgeous traditional German-style architecture. You could also visit the neo-Romanesque styled red-and-white Sacred Heart of Jesus Church with its three monumental towers. Puerto Varas neighbors Lago Llanquihue, the second largest lake in Chile with a surface area of 860 kilometers squared. For some history, take a tour to the museum of Antonio Felmer: an old-fashioned German museum or you could visit the smaller lagoon of Laguna Verde. Just across from Lago Llanquihue is a striking view of the nearby active volcanoes named Osorno Volcano and Calbuco Volcano that provides beautiful views from the city of Puerto Varas.

We have been using Adventure Life for over 20 years. I guess that about says it all. This most recent trip to central and southern patagonia was spectacular. What beautiful, vast, varied landscape. We saw it from kayaks, white water rafting, boats, hiking trails and on horseback. Lodges and guides were top notch.

With somewhat "last minute" planning, Mary was able to put together a rather complicated trip to Chile and Patagonia. Experts, for sure! This will be our 12th trip with AL. I guess that speaks volumes.
