Hikes to Osorno Volcano are very popular as there is a convenient chair lift open year-round, while lagoons, lakes and forests also make for an attractive day out – outdoor adventure sports are abundant, especially kayaking, which often involves paddling past intriguing small communities, hot springs and the odd sea lion. The town itself has a few quaint shops and points of interest to explore, including the vastly popular La Gringa bakery, becoming somewhat a cult pit stop for travellers in need of homemade cupcakes, cheesecake, hot pies and rich coffee, accompanied by spectacular lake vistas.
