Volcan Osorno
Key information: Volcan Osorno 
- One of the most iconic sites in southern Chile: a striking, Fuji-like outline set amidst stunning Patagonian scenery.
- A damp, maritime climate feeds the glaciers which coat its upper slopes.
- Reach the summit on a 2-3 day tough, reasonably technical climb from the refugio on the volcano?s western slopes, just outside Vicente Perez Rosales NP. You will need to camp.
- All but experienced climbers are advised to tackle Osorno with a qualified guide.
- This is a tough, demanding walk with some technical requirements. Come prepared.
