Puerto Varas is a city in southern Chile’s Lake District. It sits on the southwest banks of the expansive Lake Llanquihue, which offers commanding views of snow-capped Osorno Volcano and Calbuco Volcano, both still active. Traditional German-style architecture characterizes the town, reflecting its colonial past.
We loved this portion of our trip to the Chilean lake district. The town was great, the Orsorno Volcano was spectacular, the Petrohue falls were fun, the restaurants were great and this was our starting point for our 12 hour journey to Barilcohe via 4 boats and 3 buses.
