Reviews

Fue nuestra primera salida internacional en familia y la excursión nos permitió conocer la zona sin apuros. El guía, Martín, sabía muchísimo: explicó cómo llegaron los colonos alemanes, señaló el volcán Osorno entre las nubes y hasta recomendó una panadería pequeña en Frutillar. Nos encantaron el mirador de Llanquihue, las vistas del lago y el Teatro del Lago. Los chicos disfrutaron ver cisnes y probar kuchen casero. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado.

Paisajes volcánicos y recuerdos familiares junto al Llanquihue

With two young kids, we really appreciated how smoothly this summer excursion ran. Our minibus arrived at our Puerto Varas hotel exactly at 9:00, and every stop on the Llanquihue and Frutillar Settlers’ Route felt well timed—no frantic rushing, even at the German Colonial Museum. There were only eight of us, which kept things relaxed and friendly. The guide even found a quiet bakery in Frutillar for warm kuchen, a perfect break while the children watched the lake.

A perfectly paced family day through lakeside villages, history, and delicious Frutillar kuchen

Comemoramos meu aniversário entre Puerto Varas, Llanquihue e Frutillar, e foi um dia cheio de programas diferentes: mirantes do lago, paradas em antigas colônias alemãs, visita a uma fábrica de kuchen e passeio pelo centro de Frutillar. O micro-ônibus era espaçoso, com ar-condicionado e água gelada; nem senti os quilômetros. A guia ainda cantou parabéns (com sotaque chileno!). Voltamos cansadas, felizes e alimentadas.

Lago, kuchen e paisagens lindas no nosso aniversário

Mit unseren zwei Kindern war diese Sommertour ab Puerto Varas ein echtes Highlight. Die pünktliche Abholung um neun Uhr am Hotel, die Fahrt am Llanquihue-See entlang, der Besuch im Museo Colonial Alemán und der Spaziergang durch Frutillar boten viel Abwechslung. Dazu kamen Vulkanblicke, eine kurze Pause am Wasser und Kuchen in einem Café beim Ufer. Unser Fahrer erzählte locker und verständlich, wartete geduldig auf die Kinder und brachte uns pünktlich zurück. Kein Stress, alles bestens organisiert!

Vulkane, Kuchen und lebendige Geschichte rund um Frutillar

Après mes rendez-vous professionnels à Puerto Varas, j’ai profité de cette excursion pour découvrir la Route des Colons, Llanquihue et Frutillar. Nous n’étions que huit passagers dans un minibus confortable, ce qui a créé une ambiance détendue et vraiment conviviale. Le guide prenait le temps de répondre à toutes nos questions, sans jamais nous presser. J’ai adoré la petite pause près du lac Llanquihue, avec une boulangerie locale et une vue superbe sur les volcans. Pour le prix, la durée, les explications et la variété des arrêts, le rapport qualité-prix est franchement excellent.
