Trekking in the Llanquihue National Reserve, Foothills of the Calbuco Volcano｜Chile

From your accommodation in Puerto Varas, we head towards Puerto Montt to take the route that follows the Carretera Austral and turn off to the foot of the Calbuco Volcano.
We start the hike by crossing the Rio Blanco and visiting its main waterfall, which is 20 meters high. We'll continue ascending through volcanic rock and native forest, observing traces of the volcano's last eruption in 2015, which show the course of the Blanco River and the changes after the eruption.
As we continue the hike, we'll reach the first vantage point that shows us the summit of the Calbuco Volcano. We'll rest, take in the scenery, and take photos.
We will continue our ascent to reach the final vantage point, Los Colmillos del Calbuco, which shows us two waterfalls originating from the melting snow and glaciers located near the summit. We'll rest, have time to take pictures, and eat our box lunch.
After enjoying the scenery, we begin our descent to return to the starting point, take the transportation, and return to Puerto Varas.
