About this experience

I invite you to discover Puerto Montt as it is: with its wind, its sea, its people and that unique mixture between calm and southern movement.

On this tour you will not find great luxuries or perfect postcards, but you will know the real essence of the south: its viewpoints, its history, its daily pace and the corners where life happens without rush.

We will drive through different parts of the city, from the coastline, through angelmo and the chinquihue stadium, to the viewpoints to see how the landscape and mood changes according to the place. Because Puerto Montt does not have a single face: it has many, and they all tell something different.

It is a quiet, close and personalized tour, designed for those who enjoy the authentic, to look with curiosity and feel the city from within.

The tour takes place in Spanish — I don’t speak English, but I speak with love, honesty and pride of my city

OPTIONAL : I can include a local guide to translate in English, with a value of 12 USD (per reservation)
