Having April 13 as a rest day (in Osorno) on April 14 we rented a car for 3 days and went on a tour around Osorno and to the island of Chiloe.
The team for this adventure included of Oren, Zohar, Shani, and myself.

First we drove to the city of Valdivia.
In the city there is a nice market next to the river, the sea lions are fed with the fish skins as they are cut.
Another important thing in the city is the famous Kunstmann brewery where we stopped for a small beer:
From there we continued through the scenic route (which is by no means the short route) to the island of chiloe, passing by lakes, mountains and generally great scenery.
The road we took is remote, which is great unless you have some mechanical difficulties (which we had). In one occassion a flat tire, in another just getting stuck in the dirt road, suddently realizing that about 10 local people working in the road are on their way to help us (we chose a good place to get stuck at..):
The visit to the island including seeing a lot of old wooden-style churches and houses (for which the island is known for),
visiting another small island, and of course having a lot of great sea-food - in one restaurant we were actually invited to the kitchen to have a look and taste the various things they were making - I now know that hygene was not their strong point :)
From the island we went back to Osorno to return the car, take some stuff we left, and take a bus to Pucon..
