Chile Port of call
Markets, waterfront and a lake.
Choose Angelmó’s market, a waterfront city outing or a focused visit to Puerto Varas beside Lake Llanquihue. First confirm your Puerto Montt landing and last return boat if your ship uses tenders; a lake outing needs its own outward and return transfer plan.
Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Suggested plans are flexible; use your ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Use the ship’s directed passenger exit, shuttle or tender arrangements. Agree a return pickup for the actual landing, and allow for any boat queue.

Port hours vary by ship and date in Puerto Montt. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.
Our suggestion: choose one main outing and confirm its city connection and return pickup. For wildlife or lake trips, compare a planned tour with explicit port pickup and return arrangements.
