Local knowledge for Puerto Varas

Where to stay

Budget hostels cluster around the Plaza Muñoz Gamero and the adjacent lakefront promenade, where the German-style architecture and views of Osorno Volcano are. Staying central keeps you walking distance from buses, restaurants, and the casino on Del Salvador. A few cheaper options sit slightly inland or toward the Puerto Chico sector, a short walk or mototaxi from the main square.

Getting around

  • Frequent minibuses run between Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt (20 km), making it easy to catch flights from El Tepual Airport or connect to long-distance buses without staying in the larger city.
  • Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park and the Petrohué waterfalls are about 70 km away and make a classic day trip. Shared shuttles and tour agencies near the plaza charge far less than private transfers, and the falls are best visited in the morning before groups arrive.
  • Puerto Varas is the Chilean starting point for the scenic bus-and-boat crossing to San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. Book through an agency in town rather than trying to piece it together independently, and plan for at least one full day on the road.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest and quietest from May through September, during the cool, rainy winter when visitor numbers drop. Prices climb from December through March, the Southern Hemisphere summer, when European and domestic tourists arrive for lake activities and volcano hikes, and rooms fill fast around Easter and the December-January holiday break.
