Puerto Varas

Puerto Varas is a city in southern Chile's Lake District, we visited it on our way from Puerto Montt to Petrohué Waterfalls. It sits on the southwest banks of the expansive Lake Llanquihue, which offers commanding views of snow-capped Osorno Volcano and Calbuco Volcano, both still active. Traditional German-style architecture characterizes the town, reflecting its colonial past. Built in the early 20th century, the red-and-white Sacred Heart of Jesus Church has 3 striking towers.
