San Martin to Pucon Chile 173 km
A sad day indeed as today is our last ride day before departing to Santiago Chile tomorrow for a few days of exploration. Our journey started at 9 am and took us back to the Argentina border and then on to the Chilean border before the road led is down through lush green farmland and woods towards the scenic town of Pucon. Sitting on the south eastern shore of of Lake Villarrica Pucon is the major destination of choice for most visitors to Chile's lake district. With a population of 8000 Pucon swells to 70,000 during the summer as people come to enjoy the walks, water sports, climb the active volcano Villaricca or just relax on the beaches. We arrived early afternoon and I spent the rest of the day shopping for more gifts. Tonight was spent sampling the local beer until the wee hours with Andrew, Tony, Margie, Silvana and Hans.
