Puerto Varas
This lakeside town in southern Chile with views of Osorno Volcano and the snowcapped peaks of Calbuco and Tronador directly from the waterfront, Puerto Varas sits on the shore of Llanquihue Lake and carries a strong German cultural influence dating to settler arrivals in the 1850s. The walkable centre has a dense food-and-drink scene, and the surrounding area gives access to mountains, forests, and national parks.
