February 10, 2023 - Day 45

Puerto Montt is a port town and was the second largest producer of salmon in the world. I was here in 1988 and the place was booming but because of some kind of issue with salmon aquaculture the place is really run down with a lot of unemployed people. It is very close to the Chilean Lake District which is beautiful. The south latitude is the same as Oregon’s north latitude and the climate is similar with 80 inches of rain on 240 days of the year. It was a beautiful summer day today.

We first visited Puerto Varas which is a city about 20 miles from Puerto Montt in southern Chile's Lake District. It sits on the southwest banks of the huge Lake Llanquihue (lank-k-way) from which you can see the snow-capped Osorno Volcano and Calbuco Volcano, both still active.

We then visited Frutillar which has a better view of the Osorno Volcano. It sits on the western edge of Llanquihue Lake, and has long black sand beaches. The place was once a German community so there are many German-style wooden buildings and a German Colonial Museum with a 19th-century mill.

I was at a point where I had travelled for a couple of years, and it took its toll although I didn't care to admit it, and while visiting Santiago sounded alluring I felt that I had seen a lot of Chile already, but also I liked Puerto Varas quite a bit 'La ciudad de las roses' the city of roses, nested on the southwest banks of the Lake Llanquihue, with magnificent views of Osorno and Calbuco Volcanoes in the background, snow caped but still active, its colonial style architecture and laid back lifestyle, after a week or so I boarded a plane from there right to Lima in Peru

Domingo 16 de Enero un descanso más en la ruta y el último día de acampada. Esta noche debatimos sobre la constelación de Orión y su cinturón si estaba invertido o no y luego pasamos una noche bastante fría dentro de todo el viaje. Al menos sobrevivimos esa noche.
