A booming modern port city ideally located on the Gulf of Ancud, Puerto Montt is the pivotal jumping-off point for exciting trips through the Inside Passage to the fjords or the Lake District. Puerto Montt (pop. 130,000) was settled in 1852 by Germans who were attracted to the picturesque countryside, with its sweeping valleys, lush forests and immense mountain peaks. The city's German heritage is evident in the remarkable architecture of this administrative and cultural hub.
Twelve miles from Puerto Montt, the charming village of Puerto Varas located on the shores of Chile’s largest lake, Llanquihue Lake is one of most popular Chile travel destinations. Though Puerto Montt is an important hub, we recommend you stay in a Puerto Varas hotel where you’ll have more time to enjoy it’s amazing scenery and charm.
“Puerto Varas is quickly earning the nickname ‘vacationer’s paradise,’ following in the footsteps of Pucon as Chile’s go-to destination for a variety of outdoor sports.”
Next to these spectacular views across the lake of majestic snow-capped volcanoes surrounded by rich native forest there are countless options for exploring the surrounding countryside with picture-perfect German-settled farms.
Thanks for putting together a great itinerary. I had a fabulous time. Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago de Chile each were exciting and interesting in their own way and greatly exceeded my expectations!.

We are back in Malta! We would like to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable vacation. Considering the many countries (Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil) we visited, and the 14 flights we took, all went well.
Oliver, Malta.
Our trip was incredibly successful in three different countries: Chile, Brazil and Peru. And in every instance, the coordination of details and execution were impeccably accurate regardless of the country visited. Success at every stage was achieved regardless of location, the weather, the country and/or the time of day or night we traveled and were sight-seeing.

#6: Classic Patagonia
Puerto Montt Tour
In Puerto Montt’s charming main square is the city’s oldest building built in 1856, the Iglesia Catedral. It is made entirely out of alerce, the wood of a Chilean evergreen tree. Gain some ground at the Mirador offering a fabulous view of the Reloncaví Cove and the city.
You can’t visit Puerto Montt without spending time in Puerto Varas, the Chile vacation paradise. This is a friendly welcoming town with superb views of Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes on the other side of Llanquihue Lake.
Chiloe Island
Chiloe Island is a lush, mystical archipelago rich in cultural history, having escaped a great deal of the colonial onslaught and progressive transformations of Santiago. Geographically this island is ripe with verdant hills quilted in farm patterns to the north, and blanketed in dense forest to the south.
Chiloe Island is easily accessible by a ferry from Pargua, taking about half an hour to cross the Chacao channel. To get a grasp on the island’s ethnic history and enticing mythology there is a museum in Ancud not far from where the ferry drops you off called the Museo Azul de las Islas de Chiloé or Blue Museum of the Islands of Chiloe.
Osorno Volcano & Vicente Perez Rosales Nacional Park
Just 30 miles (50 km) from Puerto Varas is Chile’s oldest national park, the Vicente Perez Rosales. With a stunning landscape of trees, mountains and snowy volcanoes, its wealth of wildlife is also incredibly rich, amounting to more than one hundred species of birds and 30 species of mammals. Together with the marvelous natural beauty of the Osorno Volcano, the Todos Los Santos lake, the Petrohué Waterfalls, the Negro River and the Tronador Volcano amongst many others, this park is an important destination on your Chile vacation.
