Teatro del Lago
Although the theater is closed when there are no performances, the colorful wooden building is striking against the backdrop of the lake.
Museo Colonial Alemán de Frutillar
An outdoor museum documenting the history of German immigration to the area. The museum is composed of a garden, the machine warehouse, the water mill to grind the seeds, and the main house that is located uphill with a great view to the Lake.
Local buses (micros) run frequently between Puerto Montt and Frutillar, stopping at Puerto Varas, Ensenada, and Llanquihue in between. Make sure the micro is going to Frutillar Bajo and not Frutillar Alto.
