Around Lake Llanquihue Tour (shared)

Discover the captivating beauty of Lake Llanquihue on our exciting tour. From beautiful viewpoints to agricultural and livestock fields, you will tour the charming areas of Ensenada and the typical towns of Puerto Octay, Frutillar and Llanquihue. Immerse yourself in its culture and marvel at its landscapes.

We will begin our tour by visiting the city of Llanquihue, famous for its cured meats and the place of origin of the Maullín River, part of the old Settlers’ Route. In the city we will skirt Lake Llanquihue and head to Frutillar. We will arrive at this beautiful town reminiscent of Bavaria, where its first settlers came from. It emerged in 1856 as a shipping pier, soon followed by tanneries, mills, breweries, etc. We will stroll around its beautiful old German-style houses, admiring its well-kept gardens and its incomparable view of the Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes.

Optionally, passengers can visit the German Colonial Museum, which shows the life of the settlers, and on its Waterfront we will see the Teatro del Lago, where the famous “Frutillar Musical Weeks” are held annually, with attendance from around the world. From here we will head to Puerto Octay, also located on the northern shore of the lake, marked by German influence and the first port of departure for agricultural products to Osorno. We will tour its old streets and Plaza de Armas.

We will head toward the area of Las Cascadas, passing beautiful panoramic views of the northern part of Lake Llanquihue, where after passing the Villa La Cascada area we will reach Ensenada, where we can enjoy the scenic beauty of the slopes of the Osorno Volcano. Finally we head toward Puerto Varas, where we will visit lovely viewpoints from which to photograph the Lake and the Volcanoes.
