Puerto Montt

Hi folks. As a hostel owner in Scotland and currently helping to manage, develop and improve marketing and quality of our independent hostel members, hello from Chile. Sue and I are on a backpacking holiday in Chile and Argentina, so I thought it would be good to share our experience of traveling as backpackers in South America. Don't forget to support Scottish Independent Hostels when you visit Scotland

We were pleasantly surprised by Puerto Montt, although it would not be on our list of places to stay for more than a brief period. The main town is a good mix of modern facilities, whilst moving west one picks up a more 'local' flavour, whatever that means! The Navimag boarding area is well situated close to markets for tourists to spend last minute 'bucks' or just browsing the produce of Artisans.

We stayed at Hostal Pacifico More of a cheap hotel than a hostel as they had no kitchen for allowing guests to cook. Plenty of other options in the area though. Our double room with breakfast was only £10 each and clean, secure and tidy. Also, close to the Navimag Ferry terminal.
