Great tour, appreciated by the extraordinary guide that we were lucky to have on this tour.
We were lucky, yesterday, on 18.01.2026, to have Mr. Ivan Bobadilla. A calm man, very cult. During the 200km tour around Lake Llanquihue, he presented us with a detailed historical narrative of Chile, an extraordinary lesson that further appreciated this tourist destination. We hope that he will continue for many years in this activity.
