Puerto Varas: Half-Day Tour to Frutillar and Llanquihue｜Chile

We start our trip to Frutillar, first visiting the city of Llanquihue, famous for their sausages, and it is where Maullin River begins, and this area is part of the ancient Route of Settlers. In the city we visit the Memorial to the German Colonists, and then we will continue along the Llanquihue Lake to the Frutillar city.

Frutillar is a beautiful village reminiscent of old Bavaria, where the first settlers in the area arrived; the city began as a boarding pier in 1856, and tanneries, mills, and breweries soon appeared. We will walk around its beautiful old houses of German style, admiring the gardens and incomparable views of the volcanoes Osorno and Puntiagudo.

As an option, passengers can visit the German Colonial Museum, which portrays the settlers’ lives, and see the Teatro del Lago (Lake Theatre) on the lakeshore, where the annual Frutillar Musical Week summer festival presents approximately 40 classical music concerts by performers from Chile and abroad.
