 FUN FACTS ABOUT THE CITY
An icon of the city of Puerto Montt is a statue or work
of art called "sitting in front of the sea". Its creator,
Robinson Barría, had the idea in 2001. He sculpted a
work of art for the Puerto Montt waterfront.
Everywhere he went, people would say 'You're from
Puerto Montt... like the song by Los Iracundos'. So it
occurred to him that he had to make a sculpture about
that. The sculpture became more famous than the
song.

CURIOUS FACT

Eduardo Franco composed the song 'Puerto Montt', but without

intending to name it that way. The singer himself said that at
the beginning the single was to be called 'Por amor', but during a
break in a tour of the group they saw in a newspaper that they
were offering air tickets to that city, so they decided to change
the name of the song.
