In honour of Chile’s bicentennial celebration, I thought I would write a list of the 200 things I would like to do in Chile.
Some of the things I have already done though I will only tick it off the list if it can be documented with photos, videos or grubby serviettes I have kept. Much of the list involves visiting places though there are some things that involve doing or learning certain Chilean activities. I hope to do as much as possible as a family (with my wife and two boys) which is why I have no problem to revisit places. Todos Los Santos Lake Crossing Chile. Todos Los Santos Lake Crossing Day Trip We have just completed number 74 of our 200 Things to do in Chile list And it just about didn’t happen!!
The crossing of Lago Todos Los Santos (Lake) is only part of the journey which takes you from Puerto Varas in Chile to Bariloche in Argentina. The only company that does the tour is Cruce Andino who have been doing it since 1913 (so you could say they’ve had time to perfect it) and yes, they do it EVERY day, rain, hail or biting blizzard. There are other tours and agencies that supposedly do the same thing, but in fact they are using Cruce Andino’s boats and services.
We booked the lake crossing tour at the tourist information centre on the Muelle (that jetty down by the water where everyone takes THE photo with the Osorno Volcano as backdrop) on our first day in Puerto Varas.

Great cruise - Review of Lake Todos Los Santos, Puerto Varas, Chile. Traversing the Lakes from the Chilean side, our first water crossing began with a bus ride from the pleasant resort town of Puerto Varas to Lake Todos Los Santos.
There, the catamaran to Peulla, our overnight destination, left an hour late. It had been held up to await the arrival of a swarm of noisy daytrippers from a cruise ship down on the coast. Our lake vessel turned out to be a passenger ferry holding 340 souls packed into a seating plan like that of a wide-body jet, eleven seats across with two aisles.
The scenery was splendid, but between the daytrippers, who were ubiquitous as ants at a picnic but much louder. and the blaring audiovisual commercials for excursions to be bought in Peulla, there was little peace to be found on board.
