Chile
Puerto Montt
Puerto Montt, gateway to Chilean Patagonia, invites luxury travelers into a world where snowcapped volcanoes meet the Pacific. Base yourself at an upscale suite along the Costanera, waking to views of Tenglo Island and the bustling Angelmó pier. Stroll Angelmó Market in the morning, browsing artisan wool, lapis lazuli jewelry, and fresh seafood before enjoying a private tasting of curanto and king crab in a refined seaside restaurant. Book a chauffeured drive along the Carretera Austral coast to Pelluco and Chinquihue, stopping at quiet black-sand beaches with curated gourmet picnics prepared by your hotel chef. Arrange a yacht charter from Puerto Montt’s marina to sail across Reloncaví Sound, sipping Chilean sparkling wine as dolphins trail the bow and Osorno Volcano glows in the distance. Spend a day in Puerto Varas, only 20 minutes away, lunching in a lakefront bistro on Llanquihue Lake and exploring chic boutiques. From there, continue to Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park for a guided tour of Petrohué Waterfalls and a sunset cruise on Todos Los Santos Lake. Back in Puerto Montt, unwind in a rooftop spa with volcanic-stone massages, then savor a tasting menu that pairs Patagonian lamb, local mussels, and Maullín River oysters with premium Chilean wines. As night falls, admire the city lights reflecting over the bay from a stylish cocktail bar, planning the next day’s helicopter flight over Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes—an unforgettable highlight of travel and attractions in southern Chile.
