Puerto Montt, Chile Cruises

Puerto Montt, Chile Cruise Port

• The pristine snow covering the slopes and summit of Volcan Osorno is a spectacular sight. As a symbol of the local landscape and an icon of Lake District in the cruise port of Puerto Montt, Chile, this dormant volcano reaches a height of 2,661 meters above sea level and is often compared to Mt. Fuji based on its perfect symmetry. It’s a typical postcard-ready attraction for Puerto Montt and mesmerizes in all its glory. Take a chairlift to ascend to the highest point available and experience its gigantic splendor.
   
• At the western edge of the cruise port of Puerto Montt, Chile is a market for feasting on the region’s renowned seafood, especially at eateries that offer pleasant views of brightly colored fishing boats at anchor. At Angelmo, you can sample different types of seafood including fresh fish hanging from hooks at the fishmongers, shellfish, mussel and many others. The colorful stalls display a diversity of fish and you will be given the chance to cook fresh seafood for yourself if you’re up for it.
   
• Located in front of the main plaza in the city center is a rare exception of wooden delight in a port city not known for fine architecture. Catedral de Puerto Montt was one of the only buildings to survive the 1960 earthquake in Chile; the largest earthquake recorded in the 20th century, and holds beautiful paintings and sculptures.
