A cozy and beautiful Chilean region in the summer

Puerto Varas is a very welcoming city. I suggest visiting the museum Pablo Fierro, a great artist who welcomes him and presents his museum with great affection. It is worth a visit to Frutillar with views of 3 volcanoes, including the Osorno. It is worth climbing up to the Osorno base and leaving a day to go back to the lake by stopping in different cities. Super recommend the tour to Saltos de Petrohué.

Walk to Frutillar

Frutillar is nice, it's overrated how I walk. There is no cost-benefit ratio. You can go by bus and ride the same thing.

El Frutillar, a place that does not go unnoticed.

Beautiful city, well maintained and full of history. Fantastic view of the lake. Really a place to visit and have a hot chocolate if the weather is cool.
