Overview of your Puerto Montt tour

So many times I have enjoyed these trails that the Alerce Andino National Park (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) prevails for its enchantment on teaching a lot about chilean flora and forest environment. A good area for birdwatching in Puerto Montt. We will depart from the hotel and take the route Carretera Austral southwards, winding around the beautiful forested fjord of Reloncaví, beneath its snow-capped Andean mountains. The Carretera Austral is also known as route. 7, and it begins just outside the city limits of Puerto Montt, following the coast of Reloncaví Sound to the southern most hamlet called Villa O'Higgins. We will reach Parque Nacional Alerce Andino. This 39, 255-hectare (96, 960-acre) park is home to the alerce (fitzroyacupresoides), which is often compared to the sequoia for its thick diameter and height. These venerable giants can live more than 3, 000 years, making them the second-oldest tree, after the American bristlecone pine
