Valentines day – what a great place to celebrate.
We left the open ocean sometime during the night sailed
through the Gulf of Ancud into the calmer waters of Reloncavi Sound and into
Puerto Montt at about 9am.
Puerto Montt is the end of the road (and rail) when heading
south in Chile.
This is a stunningly beautiful region with huge lakes and snow capped volcanoes.
German immigrants from Bavaria settled the area and you can certainly see the influences in the architecture.
We did a private tour with some new friends met via cruise critic (web site for cruisers). After a tour of the town we headed off to see the Orsono Volcano, the rapids and a beautiful emerald lake.
Chilean BBQ for lunch – the food was cooked on a spit BBQ out the front of the restaurant, and the most wonderful Black Forest torte for dessert.
