Puerto Varas is a very safe place. It's not very common to get robbed or assaulted and it's significantly safer than other cities in Chile. There have been cases of harassment and house robbery mostly, but I wouldn't be concerned about being physically assaulted in most parts of the city.

Stretching over 4,300 kilometers from the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the frosty peaks of the Andes in the south, its diverse landscapes intensify its charm. Chile is recognized for its rich cultural heritage, offering a blend of European influences and indigenous traditions seen in its architectural marvels such as the historic quarter of the seaport city of Valparaíso. It's also celebrated globally for its premium wines and mouthwatering seafood. Adventure seekers flock to Chile for its world-class skiing, surfing, and hiking, while its vibrant cities and lively festivals draw in culture-lovers from around the globe.

Nestled at the south of Chile, in the Los Lagos Region, lies the delightful town of Puerto Varas. It boasts a striking location on the shores of Lago Llanquihue, with the majestic volcanoes Osorno and Calbuco looming in the background. Famed for its Germanic tradition, exemplified by the charming timber and shingle architecture that fills the town, Puerto Varas is a spot filled with unique charm. Natural beauty abounds with the nearby Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park offering ample opportunities for exploring lush green forests, cascading waterfalls and serene alpine landscapes. The town is also renowned for its exquisite salmon, crafted locally in the rich, cold waters of the region. In essence, Puerto Varas is the perfect blend of culture, culinary delights, and interactive experiences with Mother Nature.
