The Llanquihue Basin has established itself as one of the most visited destinations by tourists during summer vacations. Its tourist accommodation occupancy rate is typically above 80%. This is due to many factors, including its robust infrastructure for receiving travelers from all over Chile and the world, the quality of its services, and its nautical and land-based activities. Furthermore, its natural surroundings make this area a scenic route in its own right.
Located in the Los Lagos Region, its name derives from llanquyn-we, which means "sunken place" in the Mapudungun language. Its lake is the second largest in Chile and has a depth of over 317 meters. By car, the entire tour can take about three hours—on a day without traffic jams. By bicycle, it can take three days or more. Of glacial origin, its waters are characterized by their intense blue color.
Along with the imposing presence of the Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes, this destination is also famous for its Germanic heritage, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and agricultural activities, present in communities such as Puerto Octay, Frutillar, Llanquihue, and Puerto Varas.
