Puerto Varas, a 153 year old colonial town, directly located on the South Coast Lago Llanquihue with great views to the volcanoes, is just the perfect point to begin your trip to the Patagonian regions. With its great views of the four snow covered volcanoes Osorno, Tronador, Calbuco and Yates, with the close distance to the Pacific ocean (20 kms) and its location next to the 3rd largest lake of South America, the Llanquihue Lake, Puerto Varas gives you more than a touch of the immensity and wild Patagonian landscape.

Until now the town has conserved its special balance of a rustic atmosphere with its middle European architecture and influences of new residents as well as nationals and foreigners. This derives from the constant diversification of companies and businesses working in the region, such as the salmon industry. A lot of people come to Puerto Varas looking for a better place to live and work than in the capital of the X. Region, Puerto Montt.

Outdoor Activities Puerto Varas is also the major regional center for adventure and outdoor activities such as trekking - see our excursions, climbing, white-water rafting, kayaking, canoeing and fly fishing, mountain biking and birdwatching.
