curated scenic road. volcanoes, lakes, waterfalls. From Puerto Varas it runs 220 km to Puerto Varas; allow about 4 h 15 of riding. The stops in between: Chile Lake District Route and La Ensenada. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Slow enough to look. The surface follows the shoreline, so the corners arrive where the water decided, not where an engineer did. Water arrives beside the road and stays for 22 km. The line follows the shore because there is nowhere else for it to go.
Puerto Varas looks across Lake Llanquihue at a volcano that appears to have been drawn with a ruler. Osorno, at about 2,650 metres, is a near-perfect snow-capped cone, and from the lakeshore at sunset, when the cone turns pink and the water goes flat and glassy, it is one of the great views of southern Chile. Beside it, the more jagged Calbuco, which erupted dramatically in April 2015 and sent a column of ash high into the sky, looks darker and more menacing.
