Lake District — Chile and Argentina
Three mistakes to avoid when traveling to the Lakes District of South America
In December last year, I wrote two posts — Santiago — A City of Painted Crosses, and Valparaiso — A City Where Creativity Is Everywhere — on my South America trip in November 2017. Today’s post is a continuation of that series. If you are planning a trip to you Chile, you might find some of the information useful.
After spending three days in Santiago and two days in Valparaiso, we took a flight from Santiago to Puerto Montt. From north to south, Chile extends for 4276 kilometers. Although there are buses available on many routes, most of the time you will be catching flights to cover that kind of distance.
We are were planning to stay at Puerto Montt for four nights but had nothing booked other than the hotel accommodation.
We reached Puerto Montt quite late in the evening, and by the time we reached our hotel, it was dark.
Our hotel was overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and for a little while, we were delighted. Our happiness ended pretty soon when we saw our room. It didn’t even have basic furniture. The side stables were missing, the table lamp was on the floor, and the window was facing the side street.
