Details About Puerto Montt

Destinations » South America » South American Coast » Puerto Montt


Puerto Montt is one of southern Chile's most important cities. It features middle-European architecture, with shingles, high-pitched roofs and ornate balconies. The redwood cathedral (Iglesia de los Jesuitas) on the city's plaza is the city's oldest building. Puerto Montt is the transport hub and access point to the southern Lake District, the island of Chiloe and Chilean Patagonia. The little fishing port of Angelmo located 2 km west of Puerto Montt deserves a visit as well. Great seafood and handicraft shops can be found there.

Attractions

Puerto Montt is the gateway to Chile´s Lake District, an Apline region noted for its crisp air and breathtaking mountain scenery. Gaze at the pristine beauty of towering Mount Osomo; view the rushing falls and rapids of Petrohue; or enjoy a calm interlude at lake Todos Los Santos.

Shopping

Woolen textiles such as hand-woven ponchos, vicuna rugs and hand-knit sweaters are good buys. A wide range of these items plus handicrafts and souvenirs can be found at the Angelmo market, located about two blocks from the port.

Currency

Chile's national currency is the Chilean Peso ($).
