Puerto Montt Tips You Must Know
* Best times to book are during late January to early March or September to November, when you can often find lower rates and avoid the busy summer and winter holidays.
* Be mindful of peak seasons during the summer (December to February) and national festivals like Fiestas Patrias in September, which can lead to higher prices and limited availability.
* Flying into El Tepual Airport is the most common entry, with taxis to downtown costing around $12 to $15. Use the local buses and shared minibuses within the city for just $1 per ride.
* Save on costs by trying local markets for dining instead of expensive restaurants and consider buying city transportation passes if available for sightseeing.
* Avoid poorly lit or secluded areas at night, especially in less touristy neighborhoods, staying alert and opting for registered taxis or rideshares for late commutes.
