The Half Distance Triathlon Puerto Varas Chile offers an extraordinary combination of swimming in the pristine Lake Llanquihue, cycling along scenic routes with views of Osorno Volcano, and running near the lakefront through the charming town. Our 44-week Half Distance Triathlon training plan for senior athletes 60+ is meticulously designed to prepare you for every aspect of this iconic race.
