Climbing La Picada: The viewpoint of Vicente Perez Rosales Park
Puerto Octay
About
If you are planning to climb a volcano, seeking for a good viewpoint, in a not-so-physically-demanding climb - like the one of Osorno or Calbuco - while you are in the Puerto Varas area. This ascent may be a perfect fit for a fun and beautiful mountain climb in the heart of the Vicente Pérez Rosales national park.

Once we start climbing La Picada, you will be amazed with the great views of Osorno, Tronador, Calbuco, and Puntiagudo.

We will attempt to climb La Picada, an extinct volcano connected by a pass to the Osorno volcano, in the Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park.
The journey begins before dawn with a drive to the head of the trail.

The climbing route allows a safe and entertaining ascent throughout the year. In winter and spring with snowy slopes, and already in summer and autumn on rock and volcanic scree. The upper part will require some easy scrambling, for which no previous experience is required, only a good physical and mental condition for an intense journey on the volc...
