Puerto Varas is an ideal spot to visit some of the most impressive scenery of Chile.

To see some of the stunning scenery, plan trips to Alerce Andino National Park, Vincente Perez Rosales National Park, Llanquihue Lake or Petrohue Fall.

Take a ferry to the Chiloe Island. The boat trip itself is worth a day. You can see many birds. Ancud on the island is a charming town and has a good market with fresh seafood.

Nearby Frutillar with its museum of German Colonization is also worth a visit.
