Puerto Octay

Puerto Octay, 48 km from Puerto Varas, is set on the shores of Lago Llanquihue, and in summer you can visit beautiful, warm beaches of soft sand, ideal for a relaxing vacation fishing or enjoying various water sports.

The origins, growth and development of Puerto Octay are closely linked to the colonization of the area, started by Bernardo Phillipi and Vicente Pérez Rosales in 1852. Puerto Octay became one of the most important ports on Lago Llanquihue, with a thriving commercial activity.

More houses were built, as well as hotels and hostels to welcome the tourists. Workshops and small industries sprang up and steam launches plied ceaselessly to the many little wharves around the lakeshore.
