After lunch, at your hotel meet the van that takes you to the Petrohue sector in Perez Rosales National Park. Drive towards the Park, located at the foot of Osorno Volcano next to the flowing turquoise waters of the Petrohue river. Upon arrival, meet your skilled guides who equip you in the necessary rafting gear (wetsuit, helmet, paddle jacket, and life jacket) and then provide safety instructions. Mount the rafts and start paddling down this beautiful class III river, enjoying the rapids and the scenic views.

Continue on to a nearby walking trail on the lower slopes of the volcano and ascend (approx 3 hours) to get a view of the turquoise waters of Todos Los Santos Lake. Take in numerous breathtaking vistas on your hike of the other nearby volcanoes and beautiful scenery. Enjoy a picnic lunch on your hike before returning the same way back to your vehicle and Puerto Varas.
Today mount up on bikes with your guide and ride along the lakeshore from Puerto Varas towards Frutillar, which started as a German settlement that still has many old buildings from previous generations. Pass turn of the century houses, quiet bays, and stunning views over the three volcanoes across Lake Llanquihue, Chile's second-largest.

A wonderful 9 day tour of beautiful Costa Rica taking in breath taking scenery including the active Arenal Volcano to the stunning beaches of Manuel Antonio.
Adventure Life made a fantastic itinerary for us(we were a group of 4) Would highly reccomend them for getting it right!
Lovely hotels with breakfast included, bespoke trips in mostly private transfers, zip-lining and white water rafting adventures! This really was an amazing trip & one we will cherish forever!

We book a tour to Peru with them in May. Viewing from their website we didn’t realize that they are private tour company but after quoting the price, it seems reasonable for a private tour, let’s see how’s their service after our tour. The process of booking went smoothly except the payment part which need a bit of work. Need to improve better payment method and options.
