Is Puerto Varas safe for solo female travelers?

Puerto Varas is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. Street crime and pickpocketing can sometimes occur, like anywhere else, so it's recommended to take usual precautions such as not displaying valuable items openly, being aware of your surroundings, and avoiding deserted areas at night. However, locals are considered friendly and police are reliable and helpful. Sexual harassment is rare but again, being cautious is advised particularly during the night in less crowded places.

How safe is Puerto Varas for women?

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.
