The city of Puerto Varas was founded in 1853, as a settlement for German immigrants who came to the region.
Since then, it has been an important tourist center due to its proximity to Lake Llanquihue and its snow-capped volcanoes.
During its history, the city has been affected by several natural disasters, including the 1960 earthquake and the eruption of the Calbuco volcano in 2015.
However, it has managed to recover and today it is one of the most beautiful and tourist cities in Chile.
