Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Puerto Varas?

Gross bookings per Puerto Varas listing averaged CLP 7,630,187 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Los Lagos Region average: CLP 4,912,525), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Puerto Varas listing brings in CLP 1,880,000 in February, its best month, and CLP 730,000 in August, its slowest. May runs within 4% of August, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CLP 2,180,000+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 1,430,000 or more, roughly CLP 640,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CLP 792,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CLP 353,000 or less, about 45% of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

February earns about 2.6 times what August does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Puerto Varas Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Puerto Varas Airbnb took in CLP 7,630,187 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about CLP 13,781,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 837,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Puerto Varas's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Puerto Varas listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 80,200 adds about CLP 802,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 114,000 a night or more, against a median of CLP 80,200. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about CLP 726,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about CLP 1,880,000, against CLP 730,000 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Puerto Varas listings average 4.85 stars, and 51% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about CLP 1,148,000 a month, against CLP 636,000 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Puerto Varas

2% of the 1,335 active listings in Puerto Varas display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Puerto Varas.
