Chile’s south is a complete contradiction of the country’s arid, sun-scorched north. Lush vegetation, lakes and waterfalls give way to glacial fjords and barren seascapes. Conquer mountains and kayak on the lakes of Los Lagos and find excellent fly fishing spots on the Baker River. Overlooked by the Calbuco Volcano, the bustling port city of [Puerto Montt](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Montt.d6053664.Destination-Travel-Guides) is known for its fresh fish and open-air markets. The city serves as a gateway to the surrounding region. Join a local cruise to the Aysén and Magallanes fjords to the south and explore national parks with hot springs set amid the fjords and forests. International cruise ships and ferries also stop here on their way to and from the archipelago of Chiloé, famed for its warm hospitality and colorful houses on stilts, known as “palafitos.” These houses, along with the islands’ historic wooden churches, have become a symbol of the region. Kayak to the Chauques Islands, part of the archipelago, where you can attend festivities and learn about local myths and legends. From Puerto Montt, take the scenic road going south. The 770-mile (1,240-kilometer) Carretera Austral route eventually takes you to Villa O’Higgins, a small, isolated town first settled by the English. Along the route, stop and enjoy the turquoise waters of Lake General Carrera, one of the largest lakes in the Americas. Kayak through ancient tunnels and caves carved out of the rock by the water. Sail along the fjords to the San Rafael Lagoon and its glacier. At the very south of the country, the town of [Punto Arenas](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Arenas.d2904.Destination-Travel-Guides) makes an ideal starting point for adventures in wild Southern Patagonia. This region offers serenity, natural beauty and views in which the horizons seem to stretch out endlessly. Adventure seekers can try their hand atall kinds of activities here, including mountaineering, climbing, cycling, horseback ridingand whale watching. End your trip by watching an awe-inspiring sunset or sunrise at the region’s star attraction, the [Torres del Paine National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Torres-Del-Paine-National-Park-Ultima-Esperanza-Province.d6101516.Vacation-Attraction). To access Southern Chile, fly into El Tepual International Airport in Puerto Montt or Presidente Carlos Ibáñez International Airport in Punta Arenas from other Chilean cities. Cruises are another popular option for getting here. - Southern Chile Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Southern Chile ![Hotel Bellavista](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3120000/3117500/3117447/6ed27102_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hotel Bellavista Ave Vicente Perez Rosales 060, Puerto Varas, Los Lagos Stay at this 4-star hotel in Puerto Varas.
