Puerto Montt sits at the gateway to Chilean Patagonia.

4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Puerto Montt, nestled at the northern edge of Chilean Patagonia and serving as the capital of the Los Lagos Region, is a vibrant port city that offers cruise visitors a dramatic introduction to Chile's stunning natural landscapes. Positioned on the Reloncaví Estuary, it acts as a crucial gateway to the breathtaking Chilean Lake District, a region characterized by snow-capped volcanoes, vast glacial lakes, and lush temperate rainforests.
While the city itself boasts a bustling fish market, artisanal crafts, and a welcoming atmosphere, its true allure lies in the easy access it provides to the surrounding natural wonders. From exploring charming German-influenced towns like Frutillar and Puerto Varas to witnessing the majestic Osorno Volcano and the emerald waters of Petrohué Falls, Puerto Montt promises an unforgettable journey into one of South America's most picturesque regions, blending adventure with serene beauty.
Just a short drive from Puerto Montt, explore Puerto Varas, charmingly known as the "City of Roses." This picturesque town sits on the shores of Lake Llanquihue, offering stunning views of Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes, and features beautiful architecture with strong German influences.
Tip: Stroll along the lakefront promenade and visit the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church (Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús), a wooden church reminiscent of European styles.
Experience the majestic beauty of Osorno Volcano, a perfectly conical, snow-capped stratovolcano. Combine this with a visit to the Petrohué Falls (Saltos del Petrohué), where the emerald green waters of the Petrohué River cascade over ancient solidified lava formations, a truly stunning natural spectacle.
Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes. The pathways around Petrohué Falls are well-maintained, offering various viewpoints of the falls and the volcano.
Immerse yourself in local life at Angelmó, Puerto Montt's bustling fish market and artisanal craft area. Witness fishermen bringing in their daily catch, sample fresh seafood empanadas, and browse numerous stalls selling unique local handicrafts, woolen goods, and souvenirs.
Tip: Be prepared for a vibrant, busy atmosphere and the strong smells of a working fish market. It's a fantastic spot for authentic photos and souvenirs.
Discover the charming town of Frutillar, another delightful settlement on Lake Llanquihue, renowned for its strong German colonial heritage. Explore its beautiful lakefront, admire traditional German-style houses, and perhaps visit the Teatro del Lago (Lake Theatre) or the German Colonial Museum.
Tip: Frutillar is famous for its Kuchen (German cakes). Be sure to sample some at a local café for a delicious treat.
For a deeper dive into the region's natural beauty, consider an excursion to Alerce Andino National Park. This park protects ancient Alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides) trees, some thousands of years old, within a dense temperate rainforest, offering impressive hiking opportunities.
Tip: This requires more travel time and a higher activity level. Confirm with your tour if it's feasible within your port call duration. Wear waterproof hiking gear.
Enjoy a scenic drive around Lake Llanquihue, Chile's second-largest lake. The route offers continuous stunning views of the lake's vast expanse, framed by the majestic Osorno, Calbuco, and Puntiagudo volcanoes, with charming towns dotted along its shores.
Tip: Many organized tours combine visits to Puerto Varas, Frutillar, and Petrohué Falls with sections of this scenic drive
