Hospedaje Corina Puerto Montt

... from anyone that is willing. Dogs seem to the weakness of most Chilenos, and a big loveable San Bernardo (as they call them) was a welcomed introduction to the rest of the animals we were about to see. The farmer tells us this in not a farm that does not produces anything; rather it is used to educate people about agriculture and livestock. We walk around looking at the various animals and we even have a chance to pet some of them. We talk to the students ...

... was worth the time and the money. We set sail in a tiny little raggedy motorboat. The smell of the ocean and the sound of seagulls made it not a mere ride around an island, but a High Sea Adventure. The captain of the small vessel was a spry jovial old barnacle that moved about the boat effortlessly, rocking the boat repeatedly giving all the passengers a stir. She rows the boat out to deep water and for a second I ...

So from Santiago I decided to take a backpacker bus. I have never done that before. In fact I have always positively avoided backpacker buses, they have a reputation as party buses. Not that I am averse to a good party but I am not keen on being forced into 'organised fun'. Anyway I still signed up for the Pachamama bus from Santiago to Puerto Montt. It took 5 days and stopped at places on the way. Despite my misgivings it turned out to be a lot of fun. There were 13 of us ...

... to bariloche for the next day (regreted leaving so soon). Without any sort of guide (My guide is only for argentina. Much thanks to Jordan giving me a second guide to Buenos Aires. I returned that guide as much of the information was the same and got the full country guide. I highly support Lonely Planet guides.) or direction started walking to find a hostel. After about 30 minutes of not much luck I went back to bus ...

... Wir nehmen uns** Gepaeck, heute sind es bestimmt and die 19 kg fu** jeden, und machen uns auf den Weg zum Hafen. Nur gut, dass d** nicht allzu weit entf**nt ist. Wir checken ein und geben uns** Gepaeck ab, (es wird fu** uns zur Kabine gebracht :-) ) und bekommen uns**e Betten zugeteilt.

Um 14 ...

... areas set against a rain storm was not as inviting as we had hoped but that is what would add to the experience even more, bring back Wightlink!!! Hiking in the rain to the supermarket that eve where even the stray dogs head learnt from the homeless and lay on cardboard boxes outside, we got some eggs and poached egg on toast it was for tea and a very early night! The next day after a good 14 hours sleep (think we are both a wee tired!) we awoke to the rain ...

... at the yarn shop buying new knitting needles and yarn to match the Peru hat I was about to knit. I needed some help and was lucky to have an English speaking salesperson to help me. I sat on a stool in the corner of the store knitting a few stitches as she was helping me to find out how many stitches I need to make my hat (I don't really have a specific pattern and there is a lot of math to use which I'm not so good at ...

... place in this part of Chile and there are many forest fires in the area. You will see one photo in the photo gallery of the smoke in the fields. We took a tour to the towns of Puerto Varas and also the German town of Frutillar which are both located on Lake Llanquihue, Chile's largest lake and one of the largest in South America. Puerto Varas was a very cute and quite busy little town - we did a little shopping at an artisan market - Alli - we ...

... tramo no estaba muy bueno por el clima. Una vez en Puerto Blest se hace un descanso para almorzar y disfrutar del lugar. Allí entre los andes y en un ambiente celestial disfrutamos de un buen salmón ahumado, plato que no podía faltar a los que visitan esta región. En puerto Blest se puede recorrer la orilla del lago Nahuel Huapi y dar un vistazo a sus alrededores y apreciar lo majestuoso de sus montanas curtidas de nieve, mientras esperábamos los demás pasajeros que hab ...

... al Hijo de puta del Pinocho.



Comimos locos, curanto (mariscos, cerdo, pollo, etc, cocinado al hoyo que en realidad se cocina bajo la tierra y queda todo seco. se le agrega una sopa con gusto a mariscos y perejil), curaco (salmon con chorizo y queso derretido). Luego cayó Patricia y a ls 23hs volvimos y llamó mi viejo. Nos quedamos charlando con ls chicas y el israelí por 2 hs. Dejamos algunas cosas en el hostel y a la vuelta las llevamos par no cargarlas en Torres del Paine.
