kiwigal_1 Says: The most distinctive volcano in the region is the Osorno Volcano located on the shores of Lago Llanquihue. It is possible to take excursions walking or hiking up the volcano or around the base. Tour companies can organise this, usually from Puerto Varas.
kiwigal_1 Says: The cathedral located on the plaza has quite unusual architecture. You can see the spire from around the city which acts as a good guideline to find the plaza if you are lost.
kiwigal_1 Says: Osorno is located in the heart of the dairy farming region of Chile. 70% of Chile´s milk production is produced in the Lakes Region. When I travel to Osorno it is usually for work and so I find myself visiting Dairy Farms in the region. There is one agricultural show in...

Burgués & Bohemio Restaurant: Burgués & Bohemio Restaurant
kiwigal_1 Says: This retaurant is a new restaurant, bar and lounge centrally located in Osorno. The menu is a refreshing change from beef steaks which is the specialty of the region. I have tried the Brocheta de Ave which was really nice. The salads are good also. A friend ate the Tilapia...
Boule Bar is the only place I have been to in the evening that was more a bar than a restaurant. They have pizzas and ¨tablas¨that can be shared while you are drinking. Lots of cocktails to try. Don´t forget to try the typical Chilean drink - Pisco Sour.
Dress Code: Anything goes from what I can tell.

barryg23 Says: We rented a car in Osorno from JB Rent a Car, for a reasonable price of 23,500 pesos per day. Many of the places we wanted to see around Osorno, such as Parque Puyuhue, had erratic public transport, so we decided hiring a car was the best plan. We were a given a Corsa, from...
EntreLagos: Locally made specialty Chocolate shop
kiwigal_1 Says: The EntreLagos chocolate brand is well known within Chile. If you are looking for a yummy gift for someone back home this is a good place to stop by. Chocolates, Alfajores
Alta Artesania: Local souvenirs
kiwigal_1 Says: This shop is located near downtown Osorno. It offers a collection of local arts and crafts for sale. Wood crafts, clothing, artisan kitchen items, jewellery, toys, pottery Depends on the item
kiwigal_1 Says: On Mainstreet there is a conglomeration of stores. You can buy most things you may need during your stay in Osorno in this area.
In Chile the standard tip in a restaurant is 10% which is sometimes added onto the bill but more often than not you need to leave behind on the table. If paying by credit card you can ask to add the tip to the bill and indicate the standard 10%.
Do not tip taxis.
If you drive a car in Chile, then there are places where you can park for free but there may be a man or woman "helping" you to park (such as near the plaza de armas in Osorno). This person works for tips. They can wash your car while you are away usually also. The tip you pay them should be anything from 200 pesos or more depending on the length of time you stay. I usually pay around 500 pesos.
In supermarkets the people who pack your bags only work for tips. They are not paid by the supermarket. Depending on the amount of groceries you could tip anything from 50 cents up to around 500 pesos. The 10% rule is not hard and fast here, just whatever loose change you have.

Osorno in winter mornings is often shrouded in fog. This fog often has the affect of plane delays both in and out of Osorno and also makes visibility difficult on the highways.
To avoid the problem when flying you could book a ticket to Puerto Montt which is an hour south of Osorno. When I have an important meeting to attend in winter I often do this just in case.
When driving in fog please take the appropriate precautions as the roads can be more dangerous.

Luggage and bags: A backpack or suitcase with wheels
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Make sure you bring clothing that is warm and a rain jacket that will keep you dry. The weather in Osorno can be quite wet and so you will need this. I visit dairy farms when I am in Osorno so I bought gumboots when I was there at the Cooprinsem store.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: I have been able to purchase everything I need in Osorno. Currently the hotels don´t supply much in the way of hotel toiletries so better to bring your shampoo etc with you.
