Introduction

Volcán Osorno is the iconic active volcano of Chile's Lakes District, its symmetrical cone mirrored between Lake Llanquihue and Lake Todos los Santos — a classic image of northern Patagonia. A ski centre and chairlift sit at the base; in summer you can hike to the snowline viewpoint above the cloud sea, gazing out to other volcanoes and fjords. The crater stays snow-capped year-round; the summit route demands fitness but rewards photographers and nature lovers.When clouds lift, the volcano mirrors into a perfectly symmetric painting.
