Tour Frutillar

The guide told us lots of interesting things as we drove to Frutillar. Once we got there he just dropped us off in front of the museum and said he’d pick us up in about 2 hours. So there was actually no guided tour of Frutillar. There was just enough time to see the museum and stop for a quick refreshment. Can’t say I saw that much of the town.

Really enjoyed riding around the lake, visiting all the different villages, the theater, all the history of the German settlers, the amazing scenery with the Volcano ever present, walking in the national park.This was a private tour with an incredibly knowledgeable and interesting guide. At the end, we had a wonderful meal sitting on the restaurant‘s terrace at the foot of the Osorno volcano!!

Thanks Paulina, for a nice morning. We love the Museum, the lake front walk and the delicious Kuchen.

Beautiful town, where the theme music is present everywhere, including at the bus stops. Recognised by UNESCO for classical music. There's a festival in late January where people from all over the world attend. At the bottom on the other side of the frozen lake the Osorno volcano watching everything....

Minha experiência com o passeio a Frutillar foi super agradável. Guia muito preparado, transporte confortável e ótimas dicas para o passeio no local.

If you are in Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt there are minibuses (blue) that you find every 20 minutes round trip. (when I went there was $900 CPL from Puerto Montt to Puerto Varas and from Puerto Varas to Frutillar cost $1200 CPL) In Frutillar Bajo, you have to travel the entire coastal edge, take a photo on the metal piano, enter the pier, visit the lake theater and the different places to eat in the area. You will find a lot of bandurrias (Birds) on the roofs of all the houses. You can’t leave without eating a rich Kuchen (I recommend eating it in “The Goblins of the Lake”, it’s just amazing) You can also take one from “kuchenladen”. Watch the weather, you may run into some rain at any time and some cold...

Turistour is a good company, they are friendly and well trained punctual guides but in this particular case it is not worth taking this tour. Frutillar is very close to Puerto Varas and there is very good transport. In addition, in this particular case the tour departs from Frutillar at 12.30 so that you cannot take the guided tour to the theater of the Lake (ends at 1) which is one of the main attractions of Frutillar. We decided to stay and take public transport!

Small and pleasant city, with various activities focused on especially musical arts. Good promenade to walk by the sea with the volcano at the bottom, with several restaurants on the way and super cute
