About Puerto Varas
Puerto Varas lies in the Los Lagos region of southern Chile. Also known as ‘The city of roses’, Puerto Varas was founded as a settlement for German colonists in the mid-nineteenth century and is now a popular tourist destination that sits beside Lake Llanquihue. Original colonial architecture, countless churches, museums and art galleries abound here (not to mention the keenly-felt residual German influence of craft beer and cake). It's also an area of breathtaking natural beauty; a haven of crystal-clear lakes, snow-crowned mountains, volcanoes, forests inhabited by all manners of wildlife and wildflower — it's a great place for an outdoor adventure holiday. Kayaking, flyfishing, white water rafting and snowboarding can all be found locally. Ideal for adventurers, history-lovers and backpackers alike, the best places to stay in Puerto Varas are all small, intimate and set within the striking countryside.
