Volcan Osorno
Today we went to the Saturday market on the waterfront of Puerto Montt. We saw everything for sale, from live barnacles larger than my fist to live geese to fresh vegetable and flowers and all sorts of souvenirs including knit sweaters, carved wooden animals and drinking cups with silver straws.
After the market we drove north to Puerto Varas on the shore of Lago Llanquihue. As we drove along the lake we looked across at the volcanos, Osorno and Chabuco. At first it was overcast but as the day wore on the clouds gave way to a beautiful sunny day and gorgeous views. We left the pavement and drove over 20 kilometers of gravel road passed waterfalls and along the shore of Seno Reloncavi, one of the fjords near Puerto Montt and to the town of Cochamo, where we stopped for a delicious lunch of fresh salmon.
We returned to Puerto Montt and our hotel close to 6 pm. It was a long day but we had a great time and saw wonderful views.
