3/2
Today we are leaving for the lake crossing to Chile. It is raining as our bus takes us to Puerto Panuelo to board the Turisur to our first stop at Puerto Blest. Very breezy on deck. Most people only stay out for short period. A short bus trip then to Puerto Alegre. The weather starts to clear on the transit from Puerto Alegre to Puerto Frias on a smaller boat. Yet another bus ride over the Andes and the Chilean border. Picture is of us leaving Argentina. This area receives the most rain in all of Argentina, over 160 inches per year. The area is lush with over 30 varieties of ferns. We see several peaks some with snow but Mt Tronador is hiding. The mountain gets it name from the thunder created as ice breaks away from the glacier. We arrive in time to take a canopy excursion directly behind our hotel. As we were the only ones the two man team gave us the royal treatment taking pictures for us with our camera. Miriam took one rough landing but a ice pack and a liquor drink made with chamomile tea put her back on her feet.
