Puerto Varas, Chile

One of most beautiful I've ever seen

I went to Puerto Varas for my honeymoon and as soon as I arrived there I felt like I didn't want to be back to "civilization" anymore, although I live in Rio de Janeiro and I love Rio so deeply. Puerto Varas is a very small city (it's got two avenues crossed by four streets) where you can still breathe fresh air with almost no polution at all. It´s surrounded by the Andes lakes like Llanquihue and Todos os Santos and volcanos. The sightseeing of Llanquihue Lake in a sunshine day with Osorno volcano covered by snow at the back of the lake is one of most beautiful I've ever seen. I wish I could buy a house there and spend more time in the city. I even asked how much would cost it and for US$50 thousand you can get a lot of space! People there are very friendly and they enjoy living not in a hurry, thus, tourists feel peace of mind while in Puerto Varas. When I came back home I googled for Puerto Varas and I saw many people who had visited it saying they also wish to be back there and to live there.
