Isla Fresia

Isla Fresia is an island situated near the northeastern shore of Lago Puyehue in the Los Lagos Region of Chile, surrounded by the Andes and more than five snow-capped volcanoes rising above dense temperate native forest.

The island rises roughly 200 meters above the lake's surface and covers more than 400 hectares of unfenced terrain, a mix of native forest, meadows, and shrubland.

First settled by Austrian immigrants in the late 1930s, Isla Fresia has a predominantly temperate climate.

Lago Puyehue itself spans 157 square kilometers with a length of 23 kilometers and a depth of 135 meters, offering calm waters and mountain scenery that make the area a draw for visitors to the region.
