Major car rental agencies have desks in the terminal, which is the highly recommended way to explore the scenic Carretera Austral. A unique connection tip: for those heading to Chilo\u00e9 Island, take a taxi to the Pargua ferry terminal (approx The bus and road links into Castro or the ferry terminal matter more than the terminal itself, because Chilo travel is a chain of small transfers.\n\n1 hr away). The terminal is modern and spacious. Arrive 2 hours early for all departures. Facilities include several cafes serving local seafood specialty dishes It is a useful little airport when the whole day is already centered on Chilo and the southbound ferry network. That means the airport is most useful when the road or ferry connection is already tied to your island itinerary. there",

  "terminal_info": "El Tepual International Airport (PMC) is the primary aviation gateway to the Los Lagos region and serves as the northern entrance to Chilean Patagonia, located approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Puerto Montt. The airport operates from a single, modern two-level passenger terminal that was recently expanded to handle both domestic and international traffic with high efficiency. It acts as a critical infrastructure hub, connecting southern Chile to the national capital of Santiago and various regional destinations via carriers such as LATAM, SKY Airline, and JetSMART.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure provides a variety of contemporary amenities across its levels, including the 'Gatsby' full-service restaurant on the first floor and several airside caf\u00e9s offering local refreshments. Travelers have access to the 'Salones VIP Pacific Club,' which provides a quiet environment with snacks and dedicated Wi-Fi, alongside retail outlets selling traditional handicrafts and regional souvenirs. The facility is fully accessible, featuring podotactile paths and modernized restroom areas, ensuring a comfortable environment for all passengers transitioning to the Lake District's natural attractions.\n\nGround transportation at PMC is well-supported by official airport taxi stands and shared 'Transfer' vans located directly outside the arrivals exit, providing a quick 20 to 25-minute link to central Puerto Montt. Several major car rental agencies maintain desks within the arrivals hall on the ground floor, which is the preferred choice for those exploring the nearby Osorno volcano and the scenic Petrohu\u00e9 Waterfalls. A notable feature for arriving passengers is the spectacular view of the surrounding Andes and volcanic peaks, particularly recommended from the left side of the aircraft during northern approaches.",
