Laguna Verde

A small lagoon near Ensenada with emerald water, surrounded by temperate rainforest. It has a short trail and a lakeside viewing platform.

Laguna Verde lies by the road to Petrohué Falls, on the south slope of Osorno volcano, within the national park. A loop trail of about 30 minutes passes through tall Chilean laurel and bamboo. Wooden platforms along the lake offer views of the clear green water, and there are nearby campsites and picnic areas. Admission is free or a small fee is charged. It makes a good brief stop during a day trip to the falls and the volcano, and is about 50 km from Puerto Varas. Mosquitoes and horseflies are common in summer, so take precautions.
