Gateway to lakes and volcanoes
Osorno is a beautiful city located in the Los Lagos Region, on the banks of the Rahue River, characterized by its proximity to incredible natural landscapes. It is only an hour from Puyehue National Park, a gigantic wilderness area that offers natural hot springs and hiking trails in the middle of native forests.
To explore the city’s cultural heritage, visit the San Mateo Cathedral and tour the Cuarto Centenario Park. In addition, the Interactive Museum of Osorno and the Casa del Folclore keep the tradition alive: there you can enjoy Chilean music and dances that offer you a unique cultural experience in the south.

How to get there
How to get there by air
You should fly to Cañal Bajo Airfield in Osorno (ZOS), which offers direct flights from Santiago (1 hour 45 minutes). The airport is located just 7 km from downtown Osorno. You can take a shuttle (transfer), a taxi, or rent a car at the airport to reach your accommodation.
How to get there by land
From Santiago, you must drive 930 km along Route 5 South (Ruta 5 Sur), a journey that takes between 10 and 12 hours. You should plan for rest stops if you are driving such a long distance. Intercity buses also depart from the capital and cover the entire route.
Must-Know Tips
Rains are frequent even in summer, so you should bring waterproof and warm clothing. When visiting wild areas, bring water, sunscreen and respect the trails. Take care of the flora and fauna: do not leave garbage or light bonfires.
