Description
The trip begins with a visit to the park LAHUEN ÑADI (ancient wood of Alerce trees), natural monument since 1997 and located at the west of Puerto Montt, on the road to the EL TEPUAL airport.
You will enjoy a scenic walk on a foot trail surrounded by different species of trees included the Alerce (Fitzroya Cuppresoides), our millenary redwood.
Next you will continue on to MONTE VERDE, an archaeological site located near the creek called CHINCHIHUAPI, 28 kilometers south west of Puerto Montt, on the road to Chiloé. In it were founded fossils of an ancient settlement with more then 12.500 years of antiquity and all very well preserved today at the Austral University. The site was declared National Historical Monument in 2008 and it is currently waiting for the certification by the UNESCO,to be declared a World Heritage Site.
Finally in
Puerto Montt, you will enjoy a ride through the capital of the Lake District visiting the large fishmarket of ANGELMÓ, the handicrafts market nearby, downtown area and other attractive spots of the city.
Monte Verde is an archaeological site, located in a peat bog 600 miles south of Santiago, Chile. Its discovery in the spring of 1997 cracked the foundations of what archaeologists had understood about how the Americas were populated, leading to the idea and eventual acceptance of Preclovis. Monte Verde's ruins are extremely well preserved, and they represent a small settlement of 20-30 people who lived in 12 huts. Extinct llama, shellfish, a variety of vegetables and nuts, and most astoundingly, a still-recognizable chunk of mastodon meat, were recovered at the site and represent the diet of the occupants. A single footprint, that of a small child, was preserved near a hearth. A suite of radiocarbon dates from bone and charcoal from the hearths returned a date of close to 13,000 years ago, making Monte Verde one of the very oldest well-established sites in the Americas. The site was the center of considerable controversy, because it was in the wrong place to comfortably fit in with then-established understandings of when the continents were first settled, by Clovis hunters, about 12,000 years ago. Although some controversy continues, many more pre-clovis sites have been identified and are being much more seriously considered than they were before Monte Verde. Recent re-examination of mammoth bone from the occupation layer at Monte Verde returned four statistically significant radiocarbon dates averaging 12,460 RCYBP, and about 14,600 cal years BP, lending support to the advanced age of Monte Verde (Comment by K. Kris Hirst, About.com Guide).
