In Puerto Mont, a city remarkable for its fishing and craft activity, we will visit the viewpoints and Puerto Angelmo, a traditional craftsmanship place.
Frutillar
Breakfast at the hotel. We will visit Frutillar City. This is a beautiful town with reminiscence of Bavaria, from where the first colonizers were from. In 1856, this city became a shipping port, and soon tanneries, mills, beer factories, etc. were established. We will stroll around streets with beautiful and ancient German-style houses, watching the carefully maintained gardens and the incomparable view of Osorno and Puntiagudo volcanoes.

Also we will visit the German Colonial Museum that shows the life of the colonizers and also the Music Palace, where the famous Musical Weeks of Frutillar take place annually; people from around the world attend these concerts. We may taste the delicious and traditional "Onces Alemanas" (German dessert).

Optional: We can visit Edmundo Winkler Forest Reserve, and within a 30-minute walk we will get to see the tree species corresponding to the Valdivian forest; there we will have an idea of the landscape the colonizers found when they arrived at these lands.
