How to get to Frutillar?

From Puerto Montt (approx. 50 km)

• By car: Take Route 5 to the Frutillar exit (well signposted). Here's the location of Frutillar’s main square, called Plaza Springer, as a reference point..
• By local bus: There are multiple daily departures from the Puerto Montt Bus Terminal. These are blue buses that take the road passing through Puerto Varas, Llanquihue, and nearby towns. The trip can take longer as the bus stops at various local stops. For more details, check the Moovit app..
• And Uber? This is an available option, but we don’t recommend it. It can be expensive and sometimes confusing due to the toll charged at the entrance to Frutillar.
