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.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed Puerto Varas, Frutillar, the Osorno Volcano area, and the spectacular Petrohué Falls. Thank you for sharing your recommendations, and we hope to welcome you back to southern Chile in the future!
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.
