Lake Todos los Santos (Spanish for "All Saints Lake") is a lake featuring turquoise waters in the Chilean Lakes District of southern Chile and Northpatagonian territories, 76 km east of Puerto Varas, which is part of Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park. It has a surface area of 178.5 km². Surrounded by snow-caped mountains and largely covered foothills with old-growth Valdivian temperate rain forests. Three famous snow-capped vulcanoes can be seen from the lake: the Osorno in the west, the Puntiagudo to the north, and the Tronador to the east. There are two main lake ports: Petrohué at the western end, and the village of Peulla at the eastern end; there is no road connecting these places. The Andean Lake Crossing is a regular journey between Puerto Montt/Puerto Varas in Chile and San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina, crossing four lakes (Llanquihue and Todos Los Santos in Chile, Frias and Nahuel Huapi lakes in Argentina). This trip takes 11 hrs and travels 180 kms in one direction by combining buses and catamarans on both sides of the Andes through Peulla next to Argentinian border.
