During your stay at the Hotel Petrohue, you can enjoy your choice of kayaking, rafting, canyoning, climbing, trekking or an eco-adventure for your private, half-day excursion by Expediciones Petrohué.
Kayaking
Everything starts at the expedition center, where we will take our kayaks and safety gear and head to Petrohué Beach. The adventure begins after a short safety briefing. We will paddle to Playa Larga, one of the lake's most beautiful beaches, noted for its fine black sand. Then, we will continue on to small beaches only accessible by water for a refreshing swim. The trip takes us across to the southern shore to enjoy its spectacular views of the Osorno Volcano and its surroundings. Finishing the lake crossing, we will paddle the emerald waters under the cliffside. Here, we can observe bird species characteristic to the park in the thick forest that meets the water. Nearby, there are small beaches ideal for a picnic. After a well-deserved box lunch we will paddle to the source of the Petrohué River and the end of our adventure.

Rafting
In the morning, we will meet up 9 km. from Petrohué at the rafting put-in. After distributing equipment and having a safety talk, we will begin our descent of the class III and IV (depending on the month) rapids of the Petrohué River.
The 16 km. ride over crystal-clear waters boasts adrenaline-filled rapids and panoramic views of virgin forest, mountains and snow-capped volcanoes. Nearby, we can observe the diverse bird species which inhabit the river surroundings, such as the Kingfisher, Pato Correntino and Yeco/Cormoran, among others.
This adventurous paddle will last approximately 1-1/2 hours until we reach the confluence of River Hueño Hueño, where we'll change into dry clothes and enjoy a riverside picnic lunch.

Canyoning
This adventure starts at the expedition center, where we will go through a general briefing and organize the necessary equipment. We then board a boat that will take us for a 15-minute ride to the mouth of River León. We begin with a saftey check of our equipment and a technical safety talk on the beach. Then, we'll embark on our ascent through the crystal clear waters of this steep and exciting canyon. Our goal is to reach the "Pozon" an enormous pool fed by a stunning 40-meter waterfall.
To reach our goal, we will negotiate various obstacles: climbing waterfalls, jumping into pools and swimming against the current. The backdrop of our adventure is a spectacular natural setting with beautiful native fauna and flora typical to the Valdivian Forest.
If the ascent was exciting, the descent is even more adventurous. You will be jumping into river pools, rappelling across a waterfall and floating down river to the mouth of the León River. Here, we will relax and enjoy a well-deserved picnic lunch before we head back on the boat to Petrohué.

ClimbingThis activity begins at the expedition center in Petrohué where we will select our climbing gear and other necessary equipment for the adventure.
Approximately 4 km. from Petrohué there is a natural climbing wall of basalt rock situated right next to the Petrohué River.

The Colonists' Eco-Trek
In the afternoon, we begin our journey by vehicle to the Petrohué Falls. Here, we can observe nature at work, water eroding volcanic rocks using the explosive power that formed these waterfalls. In the midst of this typical southern forest environment, we can observe a large number of native tree and plant species.
After visiting the falls, we will head to the skirts of the Osorno Volcano (altitude of 2,661 meters). We will hike at a relaxed pace through the dense forest via the faint path to Petrohué once used by the first settlers. The forest is home to coigüe, ulmo, arrayán, avellano (hazelnut), tiaca, ferns and mosses. In the middle of the forest, we will have a picnic and look for native bird species such as the chucao, great horned owl, woodpecker and traro. After this short break, we begin our descent of the foothills of the Osorno Volcano through black sandy terrain created by the Eastern Glacier. Our excursion ends at the Hotel Petrohué.
Eco-adventure
The eco-adventure offers the perfect mix of contact with nature and the adrenaline of adventure. We begin with a trek through a forest which has survived the last eruptions of the Osorno Volcano. Along the way, we will stop for scenic views of the source of the Petrohué River and Lake Todos los Santos. The trek continues through native forest, home to diverse species including coigües, ulmos, and avellanos, among others.
At Fox Canyon, we meet our first extreme challenge. We will cross the canyon using a zip-line that extends approximately 330 feet, or 100 meters, moving through the tree tops to the other side. This is an experience you will never forget! Afterward, we will recuperate our energy alongside a lava flow that teaches about the stages of a volcanic eruption.
After a short rest, we will climb the eastern wall of the canyon and hike through a landscape abundant with native bird life. We will then brief you on safetly and the use of equipment before rapelling down a canyon surrounded by moss-covered vines toward the Petrohué River. A short walk takes us to our last challenge: kayaks. After paddling upriver to Petrohué Beach, we we will enjoy refreshments and snacks on the beach while sharing our vivid impressions of the day.
