Question 2

Is Puerto Montt walkable?

Accepted Answer

The centre and waterfront are walkable. You can go from Plaza de Armas and the cathedral along the Costanera to the Ángelmo market if you are fine with a longer stroll, but the hills above town are steep.

Local micros and colectivos link the centre with Ángelmo and Chinquihue, and frequent buses from Terminal de Buses go to Puerto Varas and Frutillar. For comfort or lake-district day trips, consider a private tour in Puerto Montt that includes private transportation.
