The popular journey, crossing over the Andes, with a combination of lake crossings plus land transfers (bus-boat, boat-bus) from Bariloche to Puerto Varas is what recommended to all tourists. So, I be a tourist for a day, cruise down to Chile!
This is my second crossing of border to Chile, first is crossing the Strait of Megellanes.
This journey is highly recommended, but I thought it is a bit of hard-sale and expensive. It started early in the morning when the guide brought us to Puerto Blest and briefed us in short on each stop. It was cloudy and drizzling! I just realized I did not have any good sunny weather in Bariloche at any days at all. My mood was so mashy.

The view from the cruise heading to the Chile border on the Andes felt quite normal to me. It took 4 cruises and 3 bus rides to get to Puerto Varas. It took 10 hours. First, we faced the welcome sign of the Chile Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales.
Then, when we turned our head back, we saw the Argentinean side with the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi.
The highlights were crossing the border on the Andes jungle at 1000M is to see Mt.Orsono from the west side. The scenes give such a nostalgic feeling that I missed home for the 1st time.

As my second crossing of border into Chile, the little town of Peulla is somehow special, even though it is exactly how a border little, little town should be - little immigration office, little basic elementary school, in a little valley, beside a small lake. Just a little Perfect!

In the last boat ride, the free stand Osorno volcano makes one felt to bow to its beauty. There was always cloud moving around.

After embarking full to the land, we headed to Peulla waterfall before finishing our journey in Puerto Varas. The day was late, but the guide insisted that we should walk to the waterfall because nothing is like it. From the main entrance, it was 15 minutes walk and the night was really falling. As I got there, I realized the reason is the waterfall is a formation of volcanic action.
