RECOMMENDATIONS
Help us to protect the
natural resources of the park for its future visitors by considering
the following recommendations:
- Mountaineers who want to climb
the Osorno volcano have to register before with CONAF which
is situated at the La Burbuja ski center. If you wish to climb
other mountains, consult and register with the park administration
in Petrohué.
- Respect the established access
hours for the La Burbuja ski center. You must wear appropriate
winter clothing during this season and thinner clothes for the
summer days.
- It is always important to have
suitable wet-weather clothes available because although there
are long periods of good weather in the summer, it can and does
rain in any season.
