Los Puertos


Our last excursion was amazing! Definitely the best one so far. We went to Frutillar, Chile which is a little German town. We went to a little German museum which was basically a little preservation of an old german family owned land. There was an old house and barn and graveyard and the gardens were gorgeous and looked a maze.

From there we went to Puerto Varas. Eating was our first order of business and we definitely ate. It was something like a feast. The restaurant we went to was amazing. We basically got to try every kind of pasta the restaurant had. They brought a plate of pasta for every 3 or 4 of us. Everytime we finished one they brought us another with a different kind of pasta. All of it was amazing. Along with that we got garlic bread and jugo natural, which is blended fruit juice, my favorite drink here. Needless to say we were all so full by the time we got done we couldn't even move.

After that we got free time. We walked around the town, Bought souveniers and enjoyed the view (everywhere we went there was an amazing view of two volcanos). A few of us went to a cafe and got coffee and kuchen (german for cake). It was really good. Then that night we went back to the same restaurant and had the best salmon I have ever had in my life. It was amazing.

The next day we got up and went to this little park that was right by a river. It had waterfalls, the bluest water I've ever seen, and an amazing view of the volcanos. It was the most beautiful place I have ever been to.

After that we had another amazing lunch before heading out to our last destination, Puerto Montt. There is an artisanal market there and we got to walk around and buy more souveniers. From there we headed home. It was definitely one of the best experiences in Chile.
