Puerto Montt, Regional port city in Los Lagos, Chile
Puerto Montt extends along Reloncaví Bay, featuring forested hills, fjords, and lakes against the backdrop of snow-covered Andes Mountains at 14 meters elevation.
The settlement emerged in 1853 under President Manuel Montt's administration, transforming from its original Mapuche name Melipulli into a vital maritime commerce center.
The local population incorporates influences from Mapuche communities, Spanish colonizers, and German settlers, reflected in architectural styles and culinary traditions.
El Tepual Airport connects Puerto Montt with Santiago and Punta Arenas, while the Pan-American Highway provides road access to neighboring regions.
The city serves as the primary gateway to Chilean Patagonia, managing extensive salmon farming operations that contribute to global seafood production.
