Puerto Montt

Had a good flight down from Santiago to Puerto Montt yesterday. Apparently they didnt have the flight I was booked on, so I jumped on one leaving an hour later and made it down here. Got into Puerto Montt and found it full of first year uni students walking around begging for pesos while carrying fish heads, fruit rubbed into their clothes and eggs cracked in their hair, just as in Santiago. Apparently is quite a tradition here in Chile. So I got 2 of these uni students to ditch their fish heads and give me a tour of the town which is nicely perched on the end of the fjord and has some snow-capped volcanoes peering over from the east.


Met up with Mauricio and Claudio (HC caipe) just 15 minutes bus ride out of town and had a good Chilean dinner and got tips on all the national parks worth trekking to.
This morning I moved to a hostel in Puerto Montt and saw the rest of the sights in town.
Still trying to get the damn hot water working in this hostel though!
