Lake District

Chile's Lake District covers two of Chile's regions, the Ninth Region, more evocatively known as La Araucanía, and the Tenth Region, Los Lagos.  From north to south, the Lake District stretches from the Pacific east to the Andes.   Famous for its deep blue mountain lakes, snow-capped volcanoes, larch forests, year-round sports and traditional folklore and legends, this area is very rich in flora and fauna - particularly true for birds and marine animals.

Aptly named, there are twelve major lakes in the Lake District, with dozens more dotting the landscape. Between the lakes there are rivers, waterfalls, forests, thermal hot springs, and the Andes, including six volcanoes with Villarica being the highest at 9,395ft (2,847m).

The Lake District will be a major highlight in your holiday or honeymoon to Chile. The scenery has been likened to Switzerland, and it has a cosmopolitan feel whilst remaining entirely Chilean.
