The view of the Osorno volcano is an impressive experience, especially in clear weather, when the snow-capped peak shines against the deep blue sky. The perfectly formed cone of the volcano, rising majestically above the surrounding landscape, is almost reminiscent of classic volcano paintings. The path here leads through lush forests that slowly transform into a barren landscape formed by lava.
What particularly struck me is the contrast between the rugged, dark lava fields and the bright, yellow flowers along the path - a play of colors that gives the landscape a unique atmosphere. Osorno is not only a highlight for hikers, but also for nature lovers who want to experience the silent but powerful presence of this volcano.
A little tip: Early in the morning or in the late afternoon hours you have the best chance of a clear view, as the volcano is often shrouded in clouds. Be sure to pack enough water, because the higher you go, the sparser the vegetation becomes and the more you feel the rough volcanic landscape beneath your feet
