More on Puerto Varas
Puerto Varas was founded in 1854 and was originally settled by German immigrants, during a policy of relocation that began with the arrival of nine families from Hesse, as recruited by colonization agent (and explorer) Berhard Eunom Philippi. Eventually some 6,000 families totalling between 30,000 to 40,000 Germans settled in various newly founded townships in Chile, including Frutillar, Puerto Octay, Puerto Varas, Faja Maisan and Puerto Montt.Puerto Varas experiences a rainy temperate climate. As a result, the landscape is one of verdant forest land. The influx of German in the 19th century has influenced its local culture, with German cuisine and delicacies available in the restaurants and hotels of Puerto Varas and its surrounding towns.
