Our family of three were guided by Maria. She was fantastic. Maria took into account my wife’s asthma and adjusted the hike accordingly so that we still had a great experience at volcano. The boxed lunch addressed allergy concerns as well. A very good day of hiking that allowed us to experience different areas. The best was the hike up the volcano! Excellent tour that you should not miss!

María is an excellent guide with a lot of experience. We had a wonderful day hiking Volcán Osorno with her. This hike is a great day hike and is a must see for anyone in the Puerto Montt/Varas area. I would love the opportunity to go on more hikes with María in the area.

Solitario Trail near Osorno Volcano

Maria is a terrific guide. We started at the Osorno ski resort and did a short loop trail that had wonderful views of the Chalbuco volcano which erupted in 2015. Because of the eruption, many trails in this area have sandy footing. The Solitario trail, 3.5 miles one way, is no exception. We walked through a lovely rainforest and then entered into more open spaces. Beware the biting flies in January and wear light colored clothing so you don’t attract them. We finished our day at Petrohue Falls and Emerald Lake.
Great guide, day, and views

Maria made the whole visit easy. Super responsive to emails, making it easy to book. Prompt pickup. A great day explaining local history and geography as we did a hike up the main mountain/volcano and the surrounding areas. We were lucky to have a gorgeous clear day (but very windy!) in the morning, before showers in the afternoon. It was only 3 hikers plus her and the driver, so made for easy and quick going. Overall, Maria and Patagonia Trails were great. Highly recommend her services.
