FROM LAKE TO OCEAN
Cycling from Puerto Varas to the Pacific Ocean — and observing amazing wildlife along the way!
Your adventure starts at Gravel Travel in Puerto Varas, cycling out through green, German-influenced countryside. Past Los Muermos the terrain turns hillier, leading you all the way to the Pacific coast at Quenuir — a real milestone on this route, and one of the best spots along the way for birdwatching and other wildlife. The next day brings a scenic hour-long ferry crossing to Maullín, keeping an eye out for more wildlife along the way, before you settle in for the night ahead of the longest day of cycling, back to Puerto Varas.
