From Puyuhuapi, we caught a taxi to Chaiten, which was nearly destroyed in a nearby volcano eruption in 2008; a coach across the Chilean fjords to Puerto Montt, where we stayed in a fantastic home-stay style hostel; and a bus yesterday to Pucón, where we are staying in yet another cool hostel and looking forward to exploring the area ...
