Your journey to Puerto Varas begins here

Welcome to AQUASUR 2026 – Puerto Varas, Chile

Traveling to Aquasur is not just about attending the most important aquaculture exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere — it’s about opening the door to a country that surprises you at every kilometer… and sometimes every minute (yes, even the weather gets enthusiastic and changes its mind several times a day). And to guide you through this experience, Turismo Esquerré — the official tourism operator of the fair — will be at your service with more than 100 years of expertise in Chile.

Chile: a long country in kilometers, but infinite in experiencies.

Exploring Chile means traveling through several worlds within a single map. Here, geography becomes an artist:

  • To the north, the driest desert on the planet.
  • In the center, valleys that produce wines capable of inspiring philosophical conversations.
  • To the south, fjords shaped as if by a brilliantly talented — yet slightly distracted — creator.

Each region has its own character, flavors, and rhythm. In a single trip you can:

  • Stargaze under skies so clear they feel computer-generated.
  • Sail between volcanoes, lakes, and ancient forests.
  • Taste a gastronomy that blends tradition, cultural heritage, and modern creativity.

Chile is not just a destination — it is an emotional, intellectual, and sensorial journey.
