Only after a very short bus ride from Osorno I have arrived in Valdivia. I didnt now what to expect after visiting Osorno. After finding accomadation I went for a walk to check out the city and was quite impressed. The town is set on a river which only travels 17 Km before it reaches the Pacific Ocean and surounded by green! tree filled mountains. There is a large German influence here, so im told. I havnt really noticed any suasages or BMWs around town. I think a large number of Germans settled here when the town was originally populated and of coarse they built a brewery closer to the coast I may have to check out today. There are a couple of universites which brings allot of young people into the town. One university has a rowing club on the other side of the river also a large campus with a botanical garden which is open for the public to enjoy. From the large warf a number of ferries offer different trips both up and down river for a closer look at the area.
