Inspire yourself by navigating along the\u00a0R\u00edo Calle-Calle<\/strong>\u00a0and watching the amusing sea lions, while you enjoy delicious sea products at the\u00a0Mercado Fluvial.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou must visit the Botanic Garden at the Universidad Austral de Chile<\/strong>, where you can find more than 950 plant species to discover the secrets of nature.

2. Frutillar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bkt-chile-travel\/2024\/04\/6bed1a98-frutillar-1024x683-1.png\")

The Museo Colonial (Colonial Museum)<\/strong> is the best place to understand said legacy since it recreates settlers’ lives in the mid-19th<\/sup> century and maintains the facilities which account for the technologies that changed the lifestyle in the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother unmissable place is the Teatro del Lago (Lake Theater)<\/strong>, which has been established as one of the main cultural venues in the region. Every year different spectacles are offered, the Semanas Musicales de Frutillar (Frutillar Musical Weeks) <\/strong>being the most important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Cocham\u00f3<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bkt-chile-travel\/2024\/04\/e2b16607-coihue-de-los-columpios-1024x1024-1.png\")
Photo:\u00a0@parquecochamo.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you are aiming to connect with nature, Cocham\u00f3<\/a>\u00a0is your ideal destination. Its name derives from the mapudung\u00fan word Kocha-mo, which means \u2018where the waters meet\u2019, and this is not a minor detail: here the wonderful Cocham\u00f3<\/a> River\u00a0crosses the valleys and creates landscapes postcards with the Volc\u00e1n Yates and the Estuario de Reloncav\u00ed in the background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrekking to La Junta is one of the most famous activities you can do in Cocham\u00f3. It extends for around 12 kilometers, and it will take you over footbridges, streams, natural waterslides, and the vertiginous \u2018Paso de la Muerte\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not miss the Coihue de los Columpios<\/strong>, where you can see a beautiful panoramic view of the city. Moreover, if you need to relax, in the Termas del Sol<\/strong> you will find 10 thermal water pools and a 300-meter walkway in the middle of an impressive natural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Caleta Tortel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bkt-chile-travel\/2024\/04\/89856443-caleta-tortel-1024x683-1.png\")

Instead of traditional streets, this district in the Ays\u00e9n<\/a> Regi\u00f3n is made up of seven and a half kilometers of platforms, bridges, and stairs built of wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom Caleta Tortel you can set off for the Jorge Montt and Steffens glaciers<\/strong> and visit the Lago Quetru (Lake Quetru) and the R\u00edo Pascua (Pascua River)<\/strong>, the most torrential on Chilean Patagonian and the third mightiest in Chile.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAn unmissable destination is the Isla de los Muertos<\/strong>, where you can find 33 wood crosses belonging to 120 workers of the Compa\u00f1\u00eda Explotadora del Baker. Since the decease of them remains a mystery, a variety of theories have been originated, which increases the enigma around the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. Puerto Natales<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/bkt-chile-travel\/2024\/04\/9fb6f0d1-puerto-natales-1024x683-1.png\")

Puerto Natales<\/a>\u00a0is surrounded by amazing natural destinations, the Torres del Paine National Park<\/strong> being the most recognized of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConsidered as the eighth wonder of the world, the \u2018horns\u2019 of the Torres del Paine<\/a> massif form a landscape you will never be able to forget. And its better if you see them at the dawn as they are dyed in a purple color, which makes them look like a cinematographic postcard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
