How do you want to move between places?
Plan language: SlovenščinaAsk anyone about the top things to do in Puerto Varas, Chile, and the answer usually starts with the waterfront. You might hike Volcán Osorno, a 2,652 meter volcano with a ski resort, paddle on Lago Llanquihue, or photograph the red Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón, all within a short day trip.


A wooden cathedral disguised as stone, built by German immigrants on the lakefront. Watch Osorno volcano turn pink from its tower at sunset.
Hitre informacije: Peel past the gray, stone-look stucco and you hit Oregon pine lumber, a rain-proof shell German settlers used to defend the wood from lake storms. Nearly everything inside, from the altar to the gallery railings, was hand-carved from native woods more than a century ago.
Poudarki: Climb the creaking wooden staircase into the bell deck and press your palm against a bronze bell cast in Germany that still tolls for clear-weather weddings. On clear evenings, the pointed spire's reflection ripples across the lake while the volcano behind it catches a vivid orange alpenglow.
Snow-capped Osorno mirrors across cold turquoise water from nearly every beach. Kayak wild shoreline cliffs, swim the free coves, and watch the cone burn pink at golden hour.
Hitre informacije: Talilnica ledenika napolnjuje to 550 kvadratnih kilometrov veliko jezero, tretje največje v državi, njegova gladina pa vse leto ohranja ledenih 12 °C. Dva vulkana, popolnoma beli Osorno na 2652 metrih in mračni Calbuco, uokvirjata obalo s skoraj vsakega zornega kota.
Poudarki: Ob brezvetrnih zorih se Osornov beli stožec tako ostro zrcali na vodni gladini, da kajakaši pravijo, da veslajo po zrcalnem dvojniku. Nemški naseljenci so leta 1850 priveslali na obalo, njihovi potomci pa še vedno vodijo obalne mlečne kmetije, katerih prekajene sire boste zavohali že en blok stran.
Watch a snow-dusted volcano rise straight out of a mirror-calm lake. Ride a vintage cable car to ski, hike, or picnic above the water with snow peaks all around.
Hitre informacije: Stoževec z 2.652 metri se dviga naravnost z obale jezera, njegova simetrija je tako popolna, da je v filmskih in televizijskih produkcijah nadomeščal goro Fuji. Njegovi ledeniki še danes tečejo po pobočjih, zadnji izbruh pa se je zgodil šele leta 1869.
Poudarki: Na mirnih jutrih ob zrcalnem jezeru se celoten zasneženi stožec odseva na glavo v vodi, ob mraku pa ledenik dobi lososovo rožnato barvo, preden nebo zbledi. Škripajoča rdeče-bela žičnica že od leta 1936 vleče smučarje po pobočju, kar jo uvršča med najstarejše še delujoče naprave v Južni Ameriki.
Raw volcanic geology meets startlingly blue water inside a national park packed with wildlife. You'll walk boardwalk loops beside churning falls and cold spray, all framed by a snow-capped volcano.
Hitre informacije: Vulkanski izbruhi vulkana Osorno so oblikovali bazaltne kanale, ki usmerjajo ledeno mrzlo vodo te reke. Vsako sekundo skozi njo drvi glacialna talilna voda iz Andov s presenetljivim turkiznim odtenkom in se spušča približno 20 metrov v nizu slapov, preden odteče proti morju.
Poudarki: Obiskovalci začutijo tresenje tal, preden sploh zagledajo peno, voda pa ohranja steklen, nenaraven turkizen odtenek, tudi ko divje drvi bočno skozi ozke lava hodnike. Na sončna jutra prši ujame svetlobo nad zasneženim 2.652 metrov visokim vrhom vulkana, ki se dviga neposredno za slapovi.
A chain of three ferries glides across turquoise meltwater between volcano cones. Waterfalls drop into the lake as you cruise, and the run ends at a hamlet no road reaches.
Hitre informacije: The name marks the All Saints' feast day, the occasion when the first Europeans laid eyes on these deep blue waters. Three volcanoes frame the shoreline, and the glacier-fed water stays near 10 degrees Celsius even at the height of summer.
Poudarki: Suspended glacial flour paints the surface a shifting turquoise that deepens to emerald in late afternoon. Cold downslope winds off the volcano can flip the lake from mirror-calm to whitecaps in under ten minutes, so no two crossings ever look the same.
The country's oldest park pairs thundering waterfalls with an almost perfectly conical volcano. Expect emerald glacier rivers, ancient rainforest walks, and shoreline views that look photoshopped.
Hitre informacije: The nation's oldest national park pairs lush Valdivian rainforest with glacier-fed lakes and rivers. Meltwater here glows vivid emerald from fine volcanic sediment, and alerce trees can push past 3,000 years old.
Poudarki: Petrohué Falls thunder over a basalt ledge that hardened from an 1835 lava flow of Osorno Volcano, whose cone reflects in the emerald pools below. On calm mornings, kayakers paddle into milky turquoise shallows where glacial flour swirls like slow smoke under the hull.


Cross into a 1902 German settler's home where alerce beams and painted stoves frame the story. Creaking rooms, fire-saved heirlooms, and live artisan workshops await.
Hitre informacije: German pharmacist Guillermo Yunge raised this alerce wood house by hand in 1902, and his family lived here for six decades. A fire gutted the interior in 1982, yet local volunteers rebuilt it as a cultural center that now stages rotating art shows and craft workshops.
Poudarki: Original hand-painted Kachelofen stoves, decorated with cobalt blue alpine scenes, still heat the main salon every winter. Upstairs, a low wooden door opens onto the attic where the family's Bremen-made cargo chests, their iron locks still snapping shut, survive completely intact.
Step into a hoarder's paradise where every shelf hides a century of forgotten treasures. Wander three floors of antique gadgets, toys, and curiosities that spark wonder at every turn.
Hitre informacije: Več kot 4.000 predmetov stiska tri nadstropja, od medeninastih gramofonov in glinenih pip do porcelanskih lutk, pripeljanih s petih celin. Šestdeset let lova po bolšjih trgih je zbralo to zakladnico in lastnik še vedno dodaja nove najdbe, kadar koli odpadno dvorišče preseneti.
Poudarki: Za preprostimi lesenimi vrati v zgornjem nadstropju čaka soba, polna najbolj osebnih lastnikovih najdb: nakaznice za hrano, ljubezenska pisma in oguljen čevelj, ki je pripadal preživelemu potresu leta 1906. Lastnikov sin odpre to sobo samo manjšim skupinam in pripoveduje zgodbo o vsakem najdenem predmetu kot pravljico pred spanjem.
Stall after stall of handwoven wool and silver you won't find in city shops. Smell the lanolin on fresh throws, see weavers at work, and leave with hand-stamped Mapuche silver.
Hitre informacije: "Približno 100 obrtnih stojnic zapolnjuje pokrito tržnico ob jezeru, pri čemer mnoge stojnice že generacije vodijo iste družine. Prodaja doseže vrhunec januarja in februarja, ko obiskovalci odkupijo ročno tkane pončo iz merino volne in mapuški srebrni nakit, ki ga v mestnih trgovinah le redko najdejo."
Poudarki: "Za vrstami z volno in keramiko peščica mapuških srebrnarjev z rokami kleše obeske trapelakucha, vsak končan kos pa je označen s simbolom izdelovalca. Ko tak srebrni obesek obrnete, boste opazili drobne ročno vrezane pume in kondorje, podrobnosti, ki jih strojno izdelani spominki nikoli nimajo."

This German apple cake came to the Lake District with settlers in the 1850s, and Puerto Varas is so famous for it that the area has its own Kuchen Route with bakeries competing for the best recipe.

These German style doughnuts are usually filled with manjar, Chile's sweet caramelized milk, and they are a breakfast favorite that shows off the town's deep German heritage.

This flaky apple strudel uses paper thin pastry rolled around cinnamon spiced apples, a recipe handed down from the Austrian and German families who settled around Llanquihue Lake.

Curanto is cooked underground on hot stones with seafood, potatoes, and meat, a method that comes from the indigenous Mapuche people and is still celebrated at gatherings around Puerto Varas.

A whole lamb is slowly roasted on a wooden spit over an open fire, and it has become the signature feast dish for festivals and family gatherings in the Chilean south.
This hearty seafood stew is packed with local mussels, clams, and fish pulled from the cold waters of the nearby Pacific and Reloncaví Sound, making it a warming winter staple.

Navegado is red wine gently simmered with orange peel and cinnamon, a warming drink that is perfect for the rainy winters of the Lake District.
This lightly fermented apple cider comes from the abundant orchards around Puerto Varas, where farmers press apples in the fall and serve the tangy drink at harvest celebrations.
Puerto Varas is home to breweries founded by German families, including the famous Kunstmann craft brewery, so locally brewed beer is a point of pride in the city.

Honestly thought it would be cheaper. It's not a budget town. But the empanadas at the market are worth every peso.
Going in shoulder season was the move, March specifically. Less crowds around the lake and the weather was still decent enough for hiking.
Skip the tour boats near the water, way overpriced. Walk to the public pier and catch a local ferry, it's like half the price and just as good.
Weather was all over the place. Sunny morning, sideways rain by lunch. Pack layers or you'll regret it. Still stunning though.
The German influence here is real, the kuchen bakeries are legit. Find the little one on the side street behind the church, better than anything tourist facing.
