Puerto Montt and Frutillar

Tuesday, 1/22. Puerto Montt, Chile. High today 76. Cloudy in the morning. Sunny in the afternoon. We departed from the ship by a tender to the city center, by the main square and the cathedral. Then we headed towards Puerto Varas known as the "City of the Roses". It overlooks Lake Llanquihue (the largest lake entirely in Chile). We continued on to Frutillar, with homes built similar to those of the German Black Forest region due to early German settlers in the 1850's). At Frutillar, we could see the snow covered Osorno Volcano in the distance when the sun appeared in the afternoon. The area is popular with skiers during their winter months (North America's summer months).
