The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Region Los Lagos.
Lakes in the North 🏞️ vs. Fjords in the South 🏔️
Los Lagos is split in two: In the north, glittering lakes, rolling hills, and charming towns like Puerto Varas await you. Ideal for relaxed camping trips with the family. In the south, however, rugged fjords, dense rainforests, and the raw beauty of Patagonia dominate. Here, adventure seekers and nature lovers are in their element. Plan your route according to your preferences!
Mobile in Los Lagos 🚐
A 4x4 camper is worth its weight in gold for reaching remote campsites. Many roads are gravel tracks. In some national parks, camping is only permitted with a permit – take care of this in time! Tolls are common on main roads, so keep cash ready. Think carefully about whether to leave your motorhome in one place to do day trips. The distances are often greater than expected.

Off the beaten path, in the hinterland of Los Lagos, lies the Río Futaleufú, a paradise for kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. Hikers also get their money's worth here. The landscape is breathtaking, the air is pure, and the campsites are small but fine. A real insider tip for everyone looking for adventure!
