For example, the experienced traveler will not be surprised to find beer brewed according to the German purity law on the menu in a bar in the Brazilian Blumenau or to find German street names in Fredericksburg, Texas. Nonetheless, encountering landscapes that are reminiscent of Germany is rather unusual. But that&#8217;s exactly what you experience in <strong>Puerto Varas and Frutillar<\/strong> in Chile. Both villages are located on Lake Llanquihue, 1000km south of Santiago, and were founded during the first German immigration wave to Chile in 1850. The region, characterized by forests, rivers and mountains, gives the feeling of being in the Alps. Only the Osorno volcano with its conical shape reminds visitors that they are not traveling through southern Bavaria.<br \/>\n<strong>Both towns are considered the &#8220;most German&#8221; towns in Chile<\/strong>. Despite the fact that there have been far fewer German-speaking immigrants in numbers than in Brazil or Argentina, their cultural influence in Chile has been much greater.<br \/>\nKassler with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes or asparagus with boiled ham can be found on the menus of these towns\u2019 restaurants decorated often in southern German style. All across Chile, &#8220;kuchen\u201d (cake) has become a classic food served during the afternoon coffee, which we will explore in detail in the next article.<br \/>\nSince Germans first immigrated to the country  they brewed beer in the south central area of Chile according to the German Purity Law. We recommend all travelers visiting Chile to try a beer from the Kinsman brewery in Valdivia, the second most important settlement of German immigrants in Chile.  Here in 1851 Anwandter founded the first German brewery in Chile. Kunstmann later carried on the city\u2019s German brewery tradition under the German slogan \u201cDas gute Bier\u201d (The good beer) and has experienced great success since the 1990s.<br \/>\nDespite the presence of German schools and associations, which still shape the social life of Chileans with German roots, the German language itself has lost its importance due to mixed marriages, which increased dramatically during the second half of the 20th century and speak almost exclusively Spanish. However, this does not detract from German descendants\u2019 awareness of their cultural heritage; they simply celebrate their German customs in Spanish.<br \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German emigrants are known to have cultivated some of their most typical traditions in their new homeland.
