LLANQUIHUE, FRUTILLAR & PUERTO OCTAY
Like Puerto Montt, other towns in the area also bear witness to a period of German colonization in the mid-19th century, such as Llanquihue (where a German dialect is still spoken), Frutillar, and Puerto Octay – your destinations on this excursion.
Excursion Details
A scenic bus transfer will first take you to Llanquihue, famous for its sausages and the source of the Maullín River, before continuing along Lake Llanquihue toward Frutillar, founded by Bavarian German settlers in 1856.
With a townscape reminiscent of Germany and the Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes as a backdrop, Frutillar is a pleasant place for a stroll. After a chance to explore the exhibits at the German Colonial Museum, the tour continues to the Teatro del Lago on the lakefront, host of a two-week annual music festival that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. Next is the nearby Puerto Octay, where you can admire the views of its historic German-style streets before enjoying lunch at a restaurant serving traditional German dishes. The return transfer to the ship concludes the tour.
