Chile's Chilean Lake District
Puerto Varas
As you venture to the edge of Lago Llanquihue, discover the stunning rose arbors for which this charming resort town is known. Puerto Varas, situated just 27km south of Frutillar, is a splendid destination in which to absorb the immaculate beauty of the Chilean Lake District. Often described as the Lucerne of Chile, Puerto Varas shines in brilliant color from December to March as the rose arbors adorn its quaint streets in full bloom.
It is a town of ice cream shops, cozy cafes and trendy restaurants, boasting a unique charisma all its own. The view of the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes as seen from Puerto Varas is unmatched, and well deserving of their postcard fame. Yet to develop into full bloom amidst the tourist radar, Puerto Varas promises to rival Pucon for the top destination in Chile’s Lake District and is not to missed during a visit to the region.
