A magical tour - The whole experience is amazing and majestic. The whole tour is inside Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. It departs at 08.00 with a bus trip, which is accompanied by the voice of Guillermo, a didactic and humorous guide, who takes the time to explain not only the history of the places visited, but also the people who compose it.
First you will travel to the Petrohué Saltos, where you have to pay a $2,600 pesos ticket for Chileans. There are approximately 30 minutes to admire the jumps, take pictures, visit the souvenir shops on site, and taste the delicious kuchens in the cafeteria.
After this the bus leaves on its way to a port, to take a catamaran on the way to Villa Peulla, which will travel for about two hours along Lake All Saints. Deorbitant passages, green mountains embrace the path of the emerald-colored lake, one can go outside and enjoy the caresses of the wind while filling the lungs with air so pure that it is nowhere else to be found. The catamaran features comfortable seating, clean bathrooms and a cafeteria that, while relatively expensive, has a great range of food, drinks, and drinks. During the tour there is no internet signal, so it is advisable to take a book, or download a podcast to listen while admiring the landscapes.
Upon arriving at Villa Peulla, one is struck by the unusual landscape. Large green hills surrounded by the emerald lake, many wetlands, animals and, if you are lucky with the weather, a beautiful sky. Either walking or on buses that are there you arrive at Hotel Natura, where you will find the only negative point of the tour, lunch, which is not included, costs $24,000 pesos (without drinks) for a meal that is not up to the rest of the place. Apart from that, the landscapes are simply indescribably beautiful.
In Peulla you can choose to walk, or pay for a 4x4 tour, horseback riding, trekking, or various adventure tourism tours (all at an extra cost on admission). Personally I opted for the 4x4, which took us to the heart of the island, walking its paths, crossing lakes, to leave us on a small barge that takes us to navigate an inner lake, where when they reach the center, they turn off the engine of the boat to connect with the serenity of nature.
It is approximately 4 and a half hours that one has to enjoy Peulla, at the end, the same catamaran and bus will take care of leaving you at the starting point of the morning, at approximately 19.00 hours.
One can’t wait to spend more time in Peulla or Vicente Rozales Park, but the tour is an excellent introduction for those who want to get into Chilean Patagonia.

Memorable ballad - We enjoyed a clear day which allowed us to see the beauty of the lake and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes.

Beautiful walk with charming landscapes. - Beautiful walk, enchanting landscapes. Maybe a little monotonous for a day trip, as the trip on the catamaran takes 1h30. The first route is new, the second is more of the same. But I recommend it because the tour is so beautiful.

Great visit but no horses - We gathered at PTO Varas downtown office and got into a bus that took us to the small waterfall Saltos de Rio Petrohué, about 45 min ride. During the ride the guide, Fernando, explained the day activities, what was included, etc. He mentioned an optional activity once we reach Hotel Natura that included an open bus ride to a farm and a catamaran lake navigation. I read on the Viator reviews that there was horse back riding so I asked the guide about it. He said he wasn’t sure if there were horses available and that we needed to check at the boat. I made sure the guide knew I wanted to ride, so I assumed he was going to check for me. After an hour on the boat ride, the guide told me that there are no more horses. There were only 4 horses available and a family of 4 took them and that there wasn’t any possibility for me to ride.
So, if you have your mind set on horse back riding as an optional activity, make sure you don’t trust your guide to help you book it, specially if they could sell 4 rides instead of 1.

The boat ride, while... - The boat ride, while pretty, was very long. There wasn’t very much to do once in Peulla except eat lunch at the hotel and pay for extra excursions (and a very short walk to a waterfall). For those looking for active day I would choose a different trip.

Mooring of activities in Peulla - The place itself is beautiful, it's the second time I go and the views are wonderful. However, this year I got a bad experience from the tourism company that sold us the trip. We bought the barge tickets in the cafeteria of Lake All Saints. The girl also offered us 3 activities that could be done when arriving in Peulla (Canopy, Horseback Riding and Safari). We chose Canopy (it was the most expensive thing) and the girl told us that during the afternoon they would send me to whatsapp the reservation code and confirmation. In the afternoon this girl talks to me saying that the Canopy was "cooped" and that I could change it for the Safari that was cheaper and gave me the difference back. We really didn't want that activity and I asked him about the rides and he told me he didn't have it available either. So we had to access the Safari. The next day when we arrived in Peulla, we were surprised that the Canopy was not working, it was even with "no pass" fences and also the horseback ridings were not performing them. We realized that these activities were never covered, but were not being carried out. This left us feeling very bitter, as they offer us activities that are not available, and then tell you that they are cupped and tie you to the other activity that is the Safari.

Stunning scenery but pricey. - The scenery is incredible. But I found this a bit expensive for what was or I should say what was not offered. Basically you get a beautiful boat ride which was incredible but nothing else. Perhaps my mistake that I didn't realize lunch was not included. The hotel is stunning with spectacular views, but the food was mediocre and expensive.
Before you arrive they try to get you to purchase another tour. I think being more forefront about what is and is not offered, would've been helpful.
Also, I changed my embarkation destination and therefore did not go to Saltos de Petrohue (included if you depart by bus from Puerto Varas) and should not have been charged the full amount. Lesson learned. I could've bought the tour for less than half the price on site at Lago Los Santos.

Very bad Buffet - Beautiful tourist experience! Until we arrived at the hotel's Buffet Restaurant (the only restaurant in the place)
1.- At the end of finishing the salad we got a small slug….
2.- The truth was it was a buffet and it had no more than 5 options to choose from.
3.- the attention of the waiters was very good, they were always attentive.
4.- At the buffet they serve you quite little, we had to ask for more to be served quite a few times.
5.- the dessert option is very limited (photos attached)
6.- They offered us raspberry juice and strawberry juice arrived
We would not eat here again since the values are not in line with what is offered, we expected more, we had higher expectations given the number of people they receive and the beautiful environment in which they are located, for 24 thousand pesos one could eat much better …. Considering that most of the visitors are backpackers, young tourists who do not plan to waste money, the minimum is to have a decent meal with several options.
