Upon landing in Puerto Montt, our local representative will be waiting for you to take you to your hotel in Puerto Varas. The city of Puerto Montt is the gateway to the enchantment of Southern Chile and the stepping off point to the Chilean Lake District and the ‘Emerald Island’ of Chile.

Named after Manuel Montt, Chilean president when Puerto Montt was established in 1853, the port city is the capital of Region XX, Los Lagos. As such, it is the center of commercial fishing, agriculture, and tourism and is imbued with the culture and architecture of early German settlers. German immigrants settled the Lake District in the late 1800s and the towns reflect their influence in the architecture of their buildings.

To the west and south of Puerto Montt is the island of Chiloe. It is like another world from Chile as it is physically separated from it by the Gulf of Corcovado. The culture on Chiloe developed for over 400 years in isolation from the influence of the mainland. It is fascinating and allows visitors to step back in time to a simpler way of life. The Humbolt Current, rich in marine life, flows along its western coast. The island is abundant in birdlife and has its own unique ecosystem.

Puerto Varas is a charming city on the shores of Lake Llanquihue and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Spectacular views across the lake at majestic snow-capped volcanoes surrounded in native forest abound as well as countless options for exploring the surrounding countryside adorned with picture-perfect German-settled farms. Only 15 minutes from Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas is popular because it is quieter than the busy port city to the south.
