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.
