Lakes, Volcanoes & Elegant Lodges
Chile is a mix of old and new. It's a land where glaciers and volcanoes continue to sculpt the terrain. Where nature reserves and national parks protect ancient forests and pristine lakes. Where indigenous Mapuche culture and Germanic heritage weave through contemporary life. We invite you and your family to witness this magical blend, walking and hiking through Chile's Lakes and Volcanoes District.
Highlights
- Trek along the base of three stunning volcanoes and hike to lagoons, secluded waterfalls and temperate rain forests
- Discover the remote Parque Futangue nature reserve set on the shores of Lago Ranco and teeming with unique flora and fauna
- Luxuriate in chic wilderness retreats that each integrate nature in unique ways, from retro to modern and from lake-town views to lush backcountry backdrops
- Enjoy warm Chilean hospitality, regional wine pairings and pisco sour demonstrations plus delicious traditional cuisine

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
In order to experience the full grandeur of Chile's Lakes & Volcanoes District, we spend more time shuttling on this trip than on a typical Backroads trip. This enables us to explore the incredible variety of ecosystems and scenery this region has to offer.
