2:40 PM: We will begin the tour in the beautiful city of Puerto Varas, also known as the "City of Roses," with a stop at the waterfront to admire the city's view from the bay and the "Aurora" sculpture with Lake Llanquihue in the background.
We will visit its main tourist attractions; the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (subject to availability of opening), built between 1915 and 1918 in monumental Baroque style, is an exact replica of a church in the Black Forest of Germany, from where some settlers arrived in our region from 1852. We will also explore the Old Quarter, where the first German settlers established themselves.
Later, we will descend towards the central area, along the beautiful Lake Llanquihue, and in the backdrop, weather permitting, we will see the imposing Osorno Volcano, which with its melting feeds Lake Llanquihue every day.
4:00 PM: Departure to Puerto Montt, 20 km to the south, the capital of the Lakes and Volcanoes Region, visiting the highest point of the city, from where we will have a beautiful panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and Tenglo Island.
From there, we will head to the Monument to the German Settlers, located in front of the Plaza de Armas and the waterfront pier, enjoying along the way its architectural heritage and cultural mix. Afterwards, we will continue towards the Angelmó area, famous in our country for its many craft shops and, of course, the fishing cove, where we will get to know the daily activity of the seafaring people who come here bringing the traditional seafood and fish to be sold in the market. We will also find typical eateries where the most delicious and traditional dishes that characterize our region are served.
