Why the Chilean Lake District?
Both Chile and Argentina have their own Lake Districts, on the Chilean side the area is characterized by pearly blue lakes, perfect snow capped volcanoes and ancient forests, dissected by rivers and waterways, some of which can be explored by kayak or raft. Some of the towns have a German feel due to the arrival of German settlers in 1856. Many of them are immensely pretty with the long straight roads that link them and the abundant national parks making it relatively easy to explore the area by car as you marvel at the picture perfect landscape unfolding in front of your eyes.
There is plenty to see and do here too, hikers might want to visit Cochamo, Chile’s version of Yosemite which has the scenery to match with grassy valleys flanked by massive granite domes but without the crowds having only been discovered by trekkers in the 1990s. Or Chiloe which offers folklore, quirky palafito stilt houses of bright colours and a labrynth of intricate water paths and interior islands.
