    Puerto Varas

    February 23 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Early start and took a 2 hour Latam flight north to Puerto Montt. Bit confusing at check in with trying to print our luggage labels and do it correctly .
    Puerto Varas is in the Chilean Lake District . Does remind me a bit of Windermere, but with sunshine and two volcanos across the lake . One was last active in 2015 but they are both classed as active .
    Town has a slight German feel also , as a lot of Germans have settled here over the past century.
    Hotel is nice with stunning views - we are in the presidential suite . We had to wait for our room , then they decided they hadn’t got what we had booked so upgraded us . Very nice but don’t really need a dining room that seats 8 or a kitchen . But nice jacuzzi bath .
    We had a walk around the little town , lots of craft markets . The gardens and flowers are very English with roses , bedding plants and agapanthus. So quite a bizarre little place .
