Calle Klenner 195 Puerto Varas, Lake District, Chile, 65-232291
We were so sad to leave Southern Patagonia (this is the statue whose foot we had to rub so that we would return; if you click on the photo to enlarge it you may see how shiny it is) but when we arrived in the Chilean Lake District and saw our hotel in the distance we were yet again entranced. It was on the edge of Lake Llanquihue(pronounced Yan kee way) with beautiful views and walking distance to the town of Puerto Varas. We felt as if we were in an Alpine town with lakes and mountains and ...
Puerto Varas, Chile lizdavid
... and filling meal. As we drive I see rolling hills that turn into volcanoes, and many beautiful lakes. The 10th Region of Chile is called Los Lagos which means The Lakes, and that is evident because you cannot drive for more than 5 minutes without seeing a lake or large body of water.<br><br>The park was unbelievable; living in a big city I often forget that there are virgin places in the world untouched by commercialism and high rise construction ...
Puerto Varas, CL.09, Chile nakiaford... we suspect) so she hung out in a very wooden room for a few days becoming hooked on chilean infomercials (just as well she didn't have a chilean credit card is all I can say or you would all have been getting strange steamer things and exercise stuff for your christmas) and I hung out in the local supermarket. Now this isn't as bad as it sounds for i'm a firm believer that you should always visit foreign supermarkets as they tell you a lot about a country (plus you ...
puerto varas, Chile chickpealarry... of the rooms did not connect, thus you would have to go outside and hike further up the hill to get to the next room. Neruda collected thousands of ¨things¨. He had thousands of glass bottles, sea shells and scores of paintings of watermelons. He collected ...
Puerto Varas, Patagonia, Chile benandlindsey... also farmed in this region, so we stopped for a fresh salmon snack on the way back to the hotel. Villarrica and Pucon The next day we were on the road again to go to Villarrica for two nights. My travel books had said to stay in Villarrica or Pucon, but when we arrived we realized our hotel was pretty much in the middle of no where. However, it grew on us..Hans, the German owner was hilarious and you know I ...
Puerto Varas, Chile dcsalsera... big money to do their wilderness trip with him. Next day, we did a short trek into the rainforest behind which was cut short after Esther found a leech hanging off her ankle - much to Andy´s amusement !!! Most of the journey we were in totally inaccessible country - we had a 2 hr car ride on unpaved roads and ferry trip before we even set out. Most of where we kayaked was in the Pumalin national park which is privately ...
Puerto Montt, Chile andyestherblog... conical and snowcapped, picture perfect. We then walked across town up a hill to another viewpoint which also happeed to be a cemetary. At the bottom of the hill there was a young lad (about 18) stripping down to his underwear. He then lay down on the ground (which was very rough and covered in gravel) on top of a flag and started crawling up the hill. It wasn´t until we´d walked past him and up to the top that we realised he was ...
Puerto Montt, Chile robandjoan... I had to cross into Chile on my way to Ushauia, we would have to enter into Chile and out and back into Argentina again which meant in and out of border check points a couple of times. We had been warned not to take any fruit into Chile so we stuffed our faces with whatever fruit we had before reaching the Chilean border. We arrived into Ushuaia 12 hours later after quite an ass numbing journey. The roads were like sheets of glass at ...
Puerto Montt, Lake District, Chile grimsey... Anyway, we obviously didn't look like fruit eaters because they hardly looked at ours- so our passport was stamped and we were officially in Chile! We were allowed a short break at Poella- there was a hotel there. An interesting hotel - totally empty except for three groups of people playing cards. The noisiest was a group of middle aged ...
