Tours around Puerto Varas

We can organise you a personalised private tour at very good rates, or help you rent a car to explore it on your own.

Puerto Varas is a calm and cosy town in Patagonia best known for its pastry shops and cafés, it’s rose gardens and Alerce tile buildings. German immigrants have shaped it since the late 19th century. Consequently sweets, "kuchen", chocolates, jam and artisanal beer are to be found in great variety. Make sure you don't miss Murtilla, a delicious berry only to be found in Southern Chile. The cuisine is surprisingly diverse here. Whether it is the finest seafood being served or Chilean home-style cooking specialties or traditional "Asados al palo" Chilean lamb barbecues.

Puerto Varas is situated on Llanquihue Lake 70 mt above sea level and due to the rain nature's colours are intense green and sky's are a vivid blue. Characteristic weather features include hot summer days with chilly nights, winter has its high-wind days with a decent amount of rain. The average temperature range in winter is 10 ºC to -5 ºC and in summer 30 ºC to 18 ºC. We recommend you bring a jacket and waterproof shoes whenever you plan to visit us.
