The gateway to Chilean Patagonia
Puerto Montt is the gateway to Chilean Patagonia and one of the most important urban centers in the south of the country. Located on the northern bank of the Reloncaví Sound, the city offers attractions such as its waterfront, the cathedral, the picturesque Angelmó Market, and the beautiful Tenglo Island.
In addition, it is located a short distance from the Osorno Volcano and Lake Llanquihue, ideal spots for hiking and wildlife observation. In the area, you can enjoy walks, boat trips, and a rich gastronomy, blending the history of the city founded by Vicente Pérez Rosales in 1853 with the majestic nature of Patagonia.

How to get there
How to get there by air
You must travel to El Tepual International Airport in Puerto Montt (PMC), with direct flights from Santiago (1 hour 45 minutes). The air terminal, located 16 km away, receives seasonal international connections. From the air terminal, you must take a transfer or taxi to reach the city center in 20 to 30 minutes.
How to get there by land
From Santiago, you must travel more than 1,000 km along Route 5 South, a 14-hour trip that you should plan with rest stops. You can also take an intercity bus that covers the route and arrives at the city’s main terminal.
Must-Know Tips
From Santiago, you can take a bus that takes between 12 to 14 hours to travel 1,000 kilometers to Puerto Montt. Another option is to rent a private vehicle and drive along Route 5 South, a journey for which it is recommended to plan a stop to rest along the way.
