The Viking South America and the Chilean Fjords Cruise
began in Santiago, Chile and ended in Buenos Ares, Argentina with
stops including Montevideo and the Falkland Islands.
One of the highlights was this visit to the Chilean Lake Country in
Northern Patagonia, 650 miles south of Santiago. We docked in Puerto
Montt, Chile to take in the beauty and diversity of the area.
Petrohue Falls, part of a local park, were formed by the Petrohue
River cutting its way through volcanic rock. Fast moving water cascades
down and through the rocks. Some fellow travelers opted to ride the
rapids on the Petrohue River! We passed.
We ventured on to the extinct Osorno Volcano. which reaches an
altitude of 8,700 feet and is snowcapped year-round. The blue skies
contrasting the clouds below were a sensory treat. The ski lift took
us about 2,000 feet up for breathtaking views of the volcano and
surrounding area.
Next, we drove around Lake Llanquihue the third largest lake in
South America with its stunning crystal blue waters. We had lunch at
a restaurant on the lake. Our Chilean salmon was accompanied by a
pisco sour, a well-known local beverage.
The picturesque town of Puerto Varas was filled with local residents
and children getting their last taste of their summer breaks. Some of
them braved the chilly waters of Lake Llanquihue for the final swim of
their summer.
The views of the Lake and the prominent Osorno Volcano in the
background were outstanding. This excursion gave us a real feel of the
beauty of Northern Patagonia.
