Puerto Varas

Hellloooo cuteness! This small town in the lake district was our last stop in Chile. The highlights:
Beerfest: We got here just in time for a festival of artisan beers from the region. If it wasn't for the polka band we would've stayed all night. Kunstmann amber takes the cake.

 

 

Hostal Erika: 

Pleasant B & B not far from the town center. Erika and her son run the place and are incredibly helpful-- her son even lent me his jacket to wear today as it is very cold and rainy. And they've made the best jokes so far about my brothers height (he is hella tall for yall that don't know). "He won't get lost, all he has to do is jump and he'll see the bus station..."

Kuchen: These german tarts are actually made in the neighboring town of Frutillar (also reeks of cuteness). We found this family-run kuchen factory, grabbed a slice and sat on the pier.

 

The view from the plaza: 

Nuff said.

Got the travel bug?
