We get to the car rental agency just before the doors open. We want to get an early start. It´s a good thing since it takes us a couple of times (leaving Argentina and then entering Chile) to navigate the process. But, along the way we are treated to some amazing views of the Lake District of northern Patagonia.
It´s a long drive (thanks, Nate, for chauffering) and we keep nourished with peanut butter sandwiches and alfajores (cookies).
We pass through Osorno, Chile and end up in Valdivia. We stay at a cute hostel decorated with a hat collection on their walls. Valdivia has a riverfront with sea lions swimming around the boaters. We stop to watch a mixed doubles volleyball tournament, walk along the river and check out the markets.We sleep well after a long day and a hearty meal sin carne.
