Morning:
We can visit and have lunch at the city’s main attraction, the Angelmó cove. This market offers the best Chilean, Chilote, and southern Chilean cuisine. You’ll find an abundance of seafood and crafts, with many friendly vendors who adapt their products to suit customers’ tastes. The view from here includes Tenglo Island and the Calbuco volcano. It’s highly recommended to have breakfast or lunch in this beautiful spot, which is a must-visit destination in Puerto Montt.
Just over 1 kilometer from Angelmó, heading towards the city center, you’ll find Pueblito Melipulli, a collection of artisan shops where you’ll primarily discover works in wool, wood, and leather.

Day 2:
Morning:
Start your day with a beautiful journey to Tenglo Island. Boatmen at the Angelmó cove offer this service, and during the approximately 20-minute trip, you can enjoy views of the cove with its stilt houses and the coast of Puerto Montt.
On the island, you’ll encounter various native tree species, such as alerces, mañíos, ulmos, and ciruelillos. Tenglo Island is mainly inhabited by fishermen and is rich in local legends, including that of La Pincoya. The island also hosts traditional festivals and is home to a revered shrine of the Virgin of Lourdes.
You can take a hike up to the large cross that stands prominently on the island. Although the path is steep, reaching the top of this hill rewards you with a breathtaking view of the Osorno, Puntiagudo, and Calbuco volcanoes, as well as a panoramic view of the city of Puerto Montt.
Afternoon:
After returning to Angelmó cove, head towards Pelluco Beach, a serene spot with calm waves, suitable for swimming—though caution is advised. The cuisine around this beach is also excellent, making it a popular destination, especially in summer. When the tide is low, the beach expands significantly due to the gentle slope, offering even more space to relax and enjoy.
Day 3: Maullín
Maullín is a commune located 17 km southeast of Puerto Montt, about an hour’s drive away. This area is one of the oldest in southern Chile, dating back to the 17th century, and boasts significant architectural heritage, such as the Church of La Candelaria, inspired by Chilote architecture.
The Maullín River is the main tourist attraction, known for its rich biodiversity and wildlife. The river’s wetlands are an ecological conservation area, home to 53% of the bird species that migrate from north to south across Chile, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
Maullín is also home to many beaches, with Pangal Beach being the most prominent, featuring white sands and a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a popular spot for sport fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and photography.
In the Quenuir Bajo area, you can observe flamingos and swans, making it a true haven for nature lovers.
