Introducing Osorno
Not to be confused with the stunning (and relatively far-off) Volcán Osorno, Osorno 'the city' is a bustling place and the commercial engine for the surrounding agricultural zone. It is hard to find anyone with anything particularly positive to say about Osorno, other than it is a good place to work. It is also an important transportation hub on the route between Puerto Montt and Santiago. To give it a bit more credit, Osorno seems to turn out some friendly folks who are a bit more worldly than their small-town brethren.

Most visitors spend little time here. If you are traveling by car and/or camping, the major supermarkets that dot the town are good for stocking up on supplies.
