Embark on a transformative journey with Shinrin Yoku, or forest bathing, a Japanese practice that reconnects you with nature through the five senses. In this guided walk through a pristine natural environment surrounded by native forests, participants are invited to smell, touch, taste, observe, and listen. This two-hour activity enhances physical and emotional well-being, lowers blood pressure, and boosts the immune system thanks to phytoncides—natural compounds released by trees that offer proven health benefits.
This experience unfolds on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, a charming lake destination in southern Chile known for its breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere. From this privileged location, visitors enjoy panoramic vistas of the surrounding volcanoes, including the striking Osorno Volcano, all within a landscape that inspires serenity and awe.
The tour also delves into the legacy of German settlers who arrived in the 19th century. Their cultural influence can still be seen today in the region’s architecture, local cuisine, and agricultural traditions, which continue to shape the identity of this fertile land.
The experience concludes with a visit to the renowned Teatro del Lago, a world-class cultural and artistic venue nestled on the lakefront. This unique excursion blends wellness, nature, and heritage, offering an unforgettable way to restore body and soul in one of the most scenic areas of Chilean Patagonia.
