 The small city of Puerto Varas in Southern Chile has been an essential starting point for expats and foreigners for many generations visiting the Patagonia and other locations in the South of Chile. Puerto Varas was however often viewed as just a summer vacation spot by many Chileans and foreigners or as a bedroom community to the city of Puerto Montt ( about 20 mins away by car); now, this small town turned small city has an established population of foreigners and Chileans that live in Puerto Varas year-round and make their living directly off the local economy. Puerto Varas also provides services to other popular small towns around Lake Llanquihue such as Frutillar and Ensenada.

Puerto Varas is one of those destinations you reach only by design,
it can’t be found by accident, at least not very easily.

Maybe everyone I know is right—maybe I am nuts. A 13 hour plane ride, 8 hours of waiting in a Santiago bus terminal and a 12 hour bus ride all surrounded by people speaking in a language I can’t understand…what could possibly be worth it? What indeed! |

The Hotel Colonos Del Sur was a beautiful dark wood building...
 | The grand old lady is gone. The Colonos del Sur hotel, once a statement of luxury and ambience in Puerto Varas is no more. On the lakefront next to the casino, the hotel provided luxury accommodations for tourists for many years, but early in the morning of March 12, fire swept through the historic three story wooden building. Volunteer bomberos fought the fire from around 4AM with everything they had confining the fire to the upper stories. However, extensive smoke and water damage appear to have pretty well finished the destruction. |
