Tenglo Island is a natural haven just off the coast of Puerto Montt, accessible by a short boat ride across the Reloncaví Sound. The island’s rugged terrain is crisscrossed with hiking paths that lead through native forests and along coastal cliffs, rewarding visitors with panoramic vistas of the city, the sound, and the snow-capped Osorno and Calbuco volcanoes. It is a prime spot for birdwatching, with species such as cormorants, gulls, and occasionally penguins. The island’s peaceful atmosphere and unspoiled landscapes make it a popular escape for nature lovers and photographers.
