Puerto Montt Sights

Sights in Puerto Montt

  1. A

    Parque Nacional Alerce Andino

    Although lightly visited, the mountainous 40,000-hectare (98,842-acre) Parque Nacional Alerce Andino provides excellent opportunities to hike through rare and protected old-growth alerce forest. Lush evergreen forest ranges from sea level to 900m (2953ft), a thick twisting medley of coigue and ulmo, ferns, climbing vines and dense thickets of quila.

    You can camp at a dozen Conaf campgrounds, and backcountry camping is another possibility. Several agencies in Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas arrange hikes and tours of the park. It's well worth the effort, if you have the time!

  2. B

    Av Angelmó Street Stalls

    Along busy, diesel-fume-laden Av Angelmó is a dizzying mix of streetside stalls (selling artifacts, heaps of smoked mussels, cochayuyo - edible sea plant - and mysterious trinkets), crafts markets and touristy seafood restaurants with croaking waiters beckoning you to a table. Enjoy the frenzy, but keep on going..

    The best quality crafts and food are found at the end of the road at the picturesque fishing port of Angelmó, 3km west of downtown. It's easily reached by frequent local buses and colectivos
