The first European settlers in the area were not of spanish descent but were from what is now Germany. The first shipload of settlers arrived as recently as 1853 ( nearby Calbuco -only a daysail away - was settled by the spanish in 1604) and the germanic influence is to be seen everywhere in the region in areas as diverse as the food and the architecture.

|}{{TOCleft}}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Montt Puerto Montt] is a port city and commune in southern Chile. The first European settlers in the area were not of spanish descent but were from what is now Germany.

Puerto Montt, with a population rapidly approaching 200,000,  is now the fastest growing regional city in Chile with this growth being due in no small part  to the equally rapid growth of aquaculture in the waters to the south.

Puerto Montt's climate is temperate... and wet. Rainfall is in the order of 1800mm/70 inches a year and even the 'dry' summer months get 90mm - or a bit on the high side of 3 inches -  a month. While you would be ill advised to ever go ashore without a spray jacket in your pack the weather can also be brilliant. The norwesterlies bring the rain... with easterlies coming off the Andes fine weather with crystal clear air is the norm. It doesn't snow at sea level and the temperature rarely drops to 0°C

Contents

Puerto Montt is a port city and commune in southern Chile. The first European settlers in the area were not of spanish descent but were from what is now Germany. The first shipload of settlers arrived as recently as 1853 ( nearby Calbuco -only a daysail away - was settled by the spanish in 1604) and the germanic influence is to be seen everywhere in the region in areas as diverse as the food and the architecture.

Puerto Montt, with a population rapidly approaching 200,000, is now the fastest growing regional city in Chile with this growth being due in no small part to the equally rapid growth of aquaculture in the waters to the south.

The town is an excellent base for trips as far south as Laguna San Raphael ( 800 miles there and back ) and around and about the out islands lying to the east of Isla de Chiloe.

Local Weather

Puerto Montt's climate is temperate... and wet. Rainfall is in the order of 1800mm/70 inches a year and even the 'dry' summer months get 90mm - or a bit on the high side of 3 inches - a month. While you would be ill advised to ever go ashore without a spray jacket in your pack the weather can also be brilliant. The norwesterlies bring the rain... with easterlies coming off the Andes fine weather with crystal clear air is the norm. It doesn't snow at sea level and the temperature rarely drops to 0°C

Approach and Navigation

Canal Tenglo can only be accessed from its southern entrance by yachts. While there are no dangers in the approach the waters of Seno Reloncavi are fished intensively and a favourite float for marking nets and lines is the empty Coke bottle... it is not a nice place to be in the dark... --Frank

Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)

Variable.. when I arrived in 2004 all departments (Armada/Aduana/Immigration/Quarantine) came down to the boat This may not always be the case. Quarantine actually turned up two days after we arrived. There was no charge for any of their services. --Frank

Likewise when applying for a Zarpe prior to departure it may be organised for you by the marina or you may have to go to the Capitánia de Puerto in Angelmo. Either way apply several days in advance, longer if it is your first Zarpe.

    Marina del Sur is mainly a 'local' marina and is not much used by visiting yachts

Club Nautico and Marina Oxxean are competing for the visiting yacht trade and the competition is keeping rates quite low.

All three marinas have regular bus services to town passing their gates.

Grocery & Supply Stores

Puerto Montt is an excellent port for storing ship with a good choice of hypermercados. All the major ones stock vacuum packed meat but the very best meat is to be found in Nueva Branau. Getting there involves a bus ride to Puerto Varas and then a second bus to Nueva Branau. The carnicería is just before the village. Seriously good meat vacuum packed to order as you wait.

For fresh produce and fish, however, the weekend market at Angelmo is the better choice while potatoes and onions can be bought in bulk straight off the boat at Muelle Pappas.

There are small ferreterias ( hardware stores) scattered throughout the town and what you want will be out there somewhere. The two largest in the town are Ferreteria Weitzler S.A. Antonio Varas 1112, and Easy, Ejercito 470.

Personal Notes

  • I have heard it said - by locals - that the #1 occupation of the locals is thieving and I would tend not to disagree. In fact the only gringos I have met that haven't been robbed are in my opinion simply victims in waiting. Puerto Montt is not alone in this regard.. Vina del Mar.. Santiago .. they all have their problems.

    Major areas of concern are around the Terminal de Buses on the Costanera and on the buses themselves. I will no longer catch a bus anywhere near the Terminus de Buses or where there is a crowd. I have known people to lose their day packs while in respectable inet cafes.. while well dressed young ladies try to unzip sailors' day packs while they are walking down Antonio Varas - the main shopping street- in the middle of the day. I have even lost a jacket - fortunately with no valuables in the pockets - from a secure locker in one of the major supermercados.....

    The marinas are quite secure. --Frank
