Chile is a land of lakes. While the country's Atacama Desert is known as the most arid place in the word, the Chile lakes are known for their beauty and the lush forests that surround them. This natural diversity has made Chile a much sought after holiday destination.
The Chile Lakes are some of the largest in the world. Some of the lakes in Chile are located close to volcanoes. The Lake Villarica lies next to the Villarica Volcano. The lake is a source of many kinds of fish for the people of the town of Villarica that stands on the shores of the lake. |
The Lake Llanqehue that lies near the Osorno Volcano is another picturesque tourist destination among the Chile Lakes. The placid lake, with a backdrop of the snow-covered peak of the Osorno, makes for a picture perfect setting for a day out. The shores of the lake are covered by forests, some of them hiding undiscovered waterfalls.
Futaleufu Valley of Chile is dotted with lakes. Here, you can indulge in boating, canoeing and fly-fishing. Riding horses by the lakeside is also a very popular tourist activity.
The Lago Todos Los Santos is one of the most beautiful lakes in Chile. The shores are covered with thick forests that form the Viecente Perez Rosales National Park.
