What to do and see in Puerto Varas, Los Lagos Region: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
Explore lovely, compact Puerto Varas on foot, the best way to take in views of Osorno Volcano and the wooden colonial homes built by German immigrants in the early 1900s. Several are designated as national monuments. Located on the shores of Lago Llanquihue, Chile's second-largest lake, the village is the low-key antidote to the Lake District metropolis of Puerto Montt and serves as a jumping off point for fly-fishing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding and sea kayaking excursions.

This royal blue lake is Chile's largest and South America's fourth largest lake.
Reviewed By Voyagearoundtheworld - Berlin, Germany
We spent almost a day driving around the lake and discovered a stunningly beautiful part of chile. The view is constantly changing: mountains, volcanoes, lake, forests, green meadows, gently rolling hills and charming little towns like german influenced Frutillar or Puerto Octay. A must do when you are in the area.

Sometimes called Lago Esmeralda because of its blue-green color, this strikingly beautiful glacial lake is bordered by steep cliffs.
Reviewed By Jrich897 - Paris, France
We arrived at the lake in time to get the ferry to Puella but the trip takes 6 hours (including 3 hours at Puella, a small town with nothing much to do once there). We managed to take a trip on a smaller boat as recommend by the many selling ferry tickets and had one and a half hours on the lake. We went out round the Isla Margarita and back. We were lucky to have fantastic weather with view of all the surrounding volcanoes and mountains and had a wonderful trip. Having saved several hours we then got stuck on the road back out of Petrohue for and hour and a half whilst workman laid a pipe but you can't have everything. A beautiful place in the sunshine...

It’s an unique museum right in front of Llanquihue Lake. You can find Pablo Fierro right there, and talk to him if you like. The museum shows a lot history of Chile as well.

Reviewed By LaJarrie - Southampton, United Kingdom
Almost frogmarched here by the owners of the AirB&B where we were staying locally. Superb recommendation though. Weather was glorious with incredible views of the shimmering turquoise falls as they rush through the narrow passageways....With the imposing snow capped Osorno volcano looming menacingly behind. If you visit, make sure you take in the Senderos de los Enamorados, which adds on about 30 mins, but which is very pretty as you wander through the woodland and valley. Go early, it gets very busy, especially at weekends, and you will only have photos of other visitors rather than the stunning scenery.

Travelling up Volcan Osorno was wonderful on this midsummer day. From the top car park we took the chairlift up to the sideline. It was well worth the 18000 pesos each. Of course, while we were up there we walked across to the Red Crater and messed around in the snow at the top. We spent about 3 hours on the mountain all up. Highly recommended. We continued around the lake to the Saltos de Petrohue which have their own review.
