Puerto Cisnes, Chile

Costs pp: Coyhaique to Puerto Cisnes 6,000p

It was still really cold when leaving Coyhaique but not snowing at least. The trip was scenic and especially the road down to Puerto Cisnes and coming into the bay there. The bus driver took all the people and dropped them off at their homes like the guy did in Pto Rio Tranquilo. We were the last to be dropped at our 'couch's' home right by the sea. We were welcomed into a home of a young couple with two young children and the grandparents living above. The young son gave up his bed for us to sleep in and moved into his parents room for the two nights, how cool is that!

The weather was perfect while we were there.We spent some time exploring the area and walked to the end of the dock and up into the hills, it was a rough track but had rewarding views of the bay and islands beyond. Kent came back with totally wet boots from the mud and water we had to negotiate. We toured the town and found the free internet at the local library and made use of that.

That evening the baby was taken ill and had to be rushed up to the hospital and on from there to the hospital in Coyhaique. So in the morning we packed and left without being able to say a proper goodbye but with the good news that all was now ok with the baby.
