Osorno is a city in south-central Chile, on the Rahue River. The 18th-century Reina Luisa Fort stands beside the river. The Museo Histórico Municipal has exhibits on the Mapuche culture and the 19th-century German settlers who built nearby mansions. Close by are the Centro de Artesanía Local’s craft stalls and the neo-Gothic San Mateo Cathedral. East of Osorno are the forests and volcanoes of Puyehue National Park.
