Born in Cochabamba, Montaño was a youth product of hometown side Aurora. He made his first team – and Primera División – debut at the age of just 14 on 15 December 2019, starting in a 5–0 away loss to Bolívar as the club only played with under-17 players and subsequently lost by walkover after only six players appeared for the second half.[1]

Montaño scored his first senior goal on 12 December 2021, aged 16, netting Aurora's second in a 4–3 home loss to Always Ready.[2]

International career

On 23 August 2024, Montaño was called up to the Bolivia national team by manager Óscar Villegas for two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Venezuela and Chile.[3][4]
