Overview

We begin this wonderful experience from the Puerto Varas city travelling by the Panamerican Road, 20 KM north route to reach Frutillar city, from where we will go into the mountains to the coast. The V -20 road goes away from the city and begins to penetrate the lands that belonged to the cacique Catrihuala 1544, who at the time lived a series of legendary stories and struggles. The creation of the ” Royal Road”, the first land route created by the Spanish Crown that united Valdivia city to Chiloe Island, allowed the emergence of a number of small towns between cities and connecting south along the coast, between the towns which the vast majority was nothing more than simple villages where predominated agricultural work, while others managed to consolidate in towns and cities, can name for example Concordia, Tegualda, Crucero and Riachuelo Village, which in its few streets gathers more than 50 heritage houses French and German style built from 1885, including its parish church built in the early XX century, and whose wooden interior recalls the churches from Chiloe. The rich architecture with houses made of wood with two or three floors, exterior corridors make the town a place worth visiting for lovers of heritage. Continuing our tour we reach the town to San Juan of the coast, known for being one of the main areas where the Huilliche live until these days, ending in a large beach, excellent for ecotourism, such as Pucatrihue, Maicolpué and Bahia Mansa pier. Recommendations: Comfortable clothes and shoes, hat, sunblock, sunglasses and if it rains a water resistant jacket. Duration: 12 hours. -Regular tour departs everyday, all year long. -Private tour departure schedule is coordinated previously with the passenger depending on their availability.
