Views of Volcan Osorno

Views of Volcan Osorno, Frutillar

 barryg23 Says:  On a clear day the view of Volcan Osorno from Frutillar is stunning. The volcano lies on the other side of the lake and dominates the view. For most of our time in Frutillar, clouds blocked this view so we had to imagine what it looked like. On the morning we left, we went... 

The beach

The beach, Frutillar

 barryg23 Says:  There's a popular beach on the shores of Lago Llanquihue, with a small area of the lake sectioned off for swimming. Frutillar was quite busy when we visited, despite the cloudy weather. And the weather didn't deter the swimmers either. We spent a goo dhour on the beach,...

Hotels  

Hospedaje Nohelia

Hospedaje Nohelia, Frutillar

 barryg23 Says:  Hospedaje Nohelia is a good value hospedaje, in a great location, on the shores of Lago Llanquihue. Most of the accommodation in Frutillar Bajo is on Avenida Phillippi, alongside the lake, and prices tend to be slightly higher here than in nearby towns such as Osorno or... 

Accommodation for all budgets: accommodation in Frutillar Bajo

Accommodation for all budgets: accommodation in Frutillar Bajo, Frutillar

 elsadran Says:  You 'd rather stay in Frutillar Bajo so that you can be near the lake and enjoy the beautiful Osorno which seems to be floating when there is a light mist on the lake surface. There is accommodation fitting all budgets on the lake side. For low budgets just look around. This...

Salon de Te Trayen: Perfect Place to have Onces!, Frutillar

 spidermiss Says:  At one of the many Salons de Te where you can take afternoon tea. Salon de Te Treyen is highly recommended for the lovely hot chocolate and homemade kuchen (cake). You can sit by the bay windows where you can look out onto the lake and get a glimpse of Volcan Osorno. I had... 

Guten Appetit

Guten Appetit, Frutillar

 barryg23 Says:  Giving its scenic location, it's not surprising that most restaurants in Frutillar are overpriced. We went for dinner in Guten Appetit (many of the people and restaurants in Frutillar are German), where the only thing that didn't break our budget were churrascos and... 

Cafe & Kuchen

Cafe & Kuchen, Frutillar

 barryg23 Says:  Many people living in Frutillar are descended from German immigrants, meaning there's a strong Germanic flavour to the food here. Nearly all the cafes and restaurants along the lake shore offer Cafe & Kuchen. The cafe is poor but the cakes are delicious. We stopped at a tiny...

Favorite thing: Don't miss the delicious sweet . It's sold everywhere in Frutillar. It' s a sort of cake made of light, refreshing fruit cream . I couldn't resist having two at a time. It's a typical German recipe. It goes perfectly with your coffee !!!
