Bus trip and boat trip from Santiago to Peulla

We took a 2 hour bus trip from Villa Alemana to Santiago.  We spent the night at a hotel at the bus terminus.  The following morning we caught a bus to Puerto Varas, a 13 hour trip.  The trip sounded long but it was most interesting watching the Chilean landscape and people. We arrived at Puerto Varas late and walked to our hotel on the lake side.  Breath takingingly beautiful.  We had a welcome drink in the bar - my best pisco sour, cold with a sugar frosting around the rim.  The next morning we joined the tour bus which took us via bus and boat to Peulla in the national park.

	Long bus trip - Bus trip from Santiago to Puerto Varas. Interesting farm lands.		Cold! - Our hotel was on the Llanpuihue Lake. Look at the dormant volcano in the distance.		How can a volcano be iced? - From the hotel we took the organised bus to Peulla. Beautiful cold/hot? volcano!
	Look carefully for the volcano - We stopped at the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. Look at the Osorno or Calbuco volcano in the background!		Petrohue Falls - Imagine trying to white water raft down this river!		Power! - Look at that water!
	Look carefully - Either the Osorno or Calbuco volcano!		Water and more water - I could not believe the power of the water and looked at it in awe.		So much water - Osorno or Calbuco volcano!
	Floating across the water - This is taken from the boat which took us across the lake to Peulla. On the boat I unluckily fell and damaged my glasses.		Look carefully - I think the Puntiaguado Volcano.		Entrance to the park hotel - The official board of the national park. We stayed at the park hotel in Peulla.
