Will I have signal at the Petrohué Falls and Osorno Volcano?

Town coverage is reliable, but signal weakens on the winding roads up Osorno Volcano and out to the Saltos del Petrohué inside the national park. Download the route and screenshot your tickets before heading into the reserve.

Is Puerto Varas a good base for exploring the region?

Very much so. Its central position and solid town connectivity make it ideal for day-trips to Frutillar's Teatro del Lago, Vicente Pérez Rosales park and Puerto Montt, all on one eSIM without swapping SIMs as you go.
