Puerto

the lake Llanquihue, volcano Calbuco, hotels listings, trips,
map and more in Puerto Varas, Chile.

PUERTO
VARAS: been founded in 1854, with 28,000 inhabitants
and located in the extreme south-west of the lake Llanquihue,
was the center of the lake navigation and exit port for the lake
commerce toward Puerto Montt.
It
takes an important tourist peak in 1934 with the construction
of the Gran Hotel Puerto Varas (today is a casino), and then with
the opening of the route to Ensenada by the south margin of the
lake.
Leaving
Puerto Varas one can give the turn to the lake Llanquihue going
by Ensenada, Puerto Octay, Frutillar and Llanquihue to arrive
then to the beginning point.
There
are around 156 kilometers with the fabulous view of the lake and
the volcanos Osorno and Calbuco. It is a very good way to understand
the history of the colonists (largely German) that they settled
down in this riverside covered with forest and they were devoted
to the agriculture.
