An easy border crossing back
but it's a damp and cloudy Chile that awaits us
even if the locals are friendly
A local snack of empanada (aka a Cornish pasty, though apparently not recommended)
and then South 20km to see Lago Rupanco. 40km of green farmland – we could be in Europe.
Sadly the circumnavigation of Lago Puyehue isn't terribly exciting, although there are towns en route:

Sadly the circumnavigation of Lago Puyehue isn't terribly exciting, although there are towns en route:
Puerto Octay, with a distnctly Germanic whiff
Frutillar
(which,
for all its present prettiness, holds a dark past within its Germanic
heritage; until the 1980s, a form of a apartheid operated, with the
upper town playing home to the meztizo population, where German
immigrants had married Chileans, whereas the lakeside was reserved for
the Germans)
