Itinerary

Tour of Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas
- Meet the tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel and start the tour.
- Stop at Angelmo Market, a classical stop for tourists and a hang-out spot for locals looking for fresh fish, seafood, and produce. If time allows, let's enjoy a salmon ceviche in one of the stalls at the end of the market area while watching some sea lions and seagulls foraging for food!
- Visit downtown. During this stop, we'll discuss the history of Puerto Montt, its importance during the German Colonization Process of the 1850s and its modern culture and history. A small walking session between its main square and surrounding streets will paint a full idea of how much this part of the country has grown!
- Head to the viewpoint located in the historical "Manuel Montt" neighbourhood, which will provide a clear landscape of the city bay area and the many hills that gave it its original name (Melipulli).
- After 20 minutes of driving on Route 5, we'll arrive at the city of Puerto Varas. Founded during the German Colonization Process, this tourism-focused area of the region has plenty to offer.
- See the Sacred Heart Church (a 1920s National Monument) built in the style of the churches in Germany (specifically, Marienkirche) and the Costanera area. We can also stop at the former Train Station neighbourhood or the beach area of Puerto Chico.
- Drop off at your location.
