Take a trip to Puerto Varas on your Chile Vacation
Puerto Varas is a city and commune located on the western shore of Llanquihue Lake in the Los Lagos Region of southern Chile. A popular destination on a Chile vacation, Puerto Varas serves as the tourist capital of the Lakes Region.
Puerto Varas was founded in 1853 by Vicente Pérez Rosales, a Chilean politician and diplomat, to be the main port on the lake. A homesteading programme was established by the government with the goal of attracting German-speaking Europeans to settle the land. This naturally resulted in a large German influence that still exists. Today many people choose to live in Puerto Varas while commuting to Puerto Montt and other areas for work.
