Have hired a ute for the week to explore this amazing ' Lakes District' of Chile. Left PV by 8.30 and headed towards Puerto Montt then up along the coast ,passing fishing villages , shanty towns until we reached the turn off for the national park . A beautiful 9km walk all up into the national park following the river, pass a waterfall then arriving at the famous Alarce Milenario, the 3000year old tree.
More dirt roads, just made the ferry ( ferry replaces the road on this stretch of the coast) then continued along more dirt roads skirting beautiful lakes, then all of a sudden Puyehue volcano was in front of us again ( this was the volcano we could see from PV )
Found our B and B Fox Hill up a dirt track. Stunning views of Puyehue. House is beautiful ,built by the owners ( they are from Canada and Russia originally) fabulous garden so lots of fresh vegetables for dinner. We are in heaven.
