May 2, 2009 - Puerto Varas, Chile

Fortunately for us, Puerto Varas is a very small town, with a friendly atmosphere, so we set off for a restaurant also recommended in our guidebook. ... Luckily for us, the walking tour goes right past our B&B, as it is a notable building in Puerto Varas, so we just picked up the trail and carried on towards the lake, keeping an eye out for a glimpse of the two snow-covered volcanoes that were still lost in a swirl of clouds. ... We decided that because we liked the B&B so much, we would make our side trip to the island of Chiloé and then come back to Puerto Varas for two more nights stay before we started moving north towards Santiago. ... We explored more of Puerto Varas on our last day before stopping in at the JAC bus office to arrange travel to Pucon, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Lake District of Chile. ...

Unfortunately we arrived late in the evening and had to leave early next day but in the short time there Puerto Varas seemed a great little town made more pleasant by staying at a great hostel called Hostel Azul. ...
