filter_dramaUnderstandThe area around Lake Llanquihue was settled by German immigrants in the 19th century. Some of these German immigrants founded the town of Frutillar in 1856, and the German influence is still evident. Many of the buildings here are so well preserved that it occasionally seems as though the whole town is a museum documenting German architecture in the region.
Frutillar actually consists of two towns. Frutillar was originally founded around the pier. Later, when the railroad was introduced, another settlement formed farther away from the lake. The part of the town by the lake is called Frutillar Bajo (bajo meaning low) and is the center of tourist activity. The other part is a bit higher in elevation and is therefore known as Frutillar Alto (alto = high). Frutillar Alto is mostly people's homes and is a bit more rundown; most tourists will not want to stop here.
For most of the year, Frutillar is a fairly quiet small town. However, for 10 days in January/February, Frutillar hosts the Semanas Musicales, a music festival drawing hundreds of classical musicians from Chile and beyond. There are concerts year-round, though with irregular frequency during the winter. -
