Valdivia

I went on a grand adventure to Valdivia, a 12 hour bus ride south from Santiago. It was a beautiful combination of water, forests, history and incredible seafood.

We took a boat ride around the rivers which surround Valdivia and I did my best to understand the guide. We ate avery well and drank the local beer, Kuntsman, which is a fantastic German brewery. There's a lot of German influence in the architecture and the food, and clearly the beer has benefitted from the immigration that started in the 1800s. Vladivia has an interesting history as a colony, the site of the worlds most intense earthquake as well as a tourist destination.

Here is my new flicker account. I think this is a better way for me to show photos- this set is from my Valdivia trip. Here you can see my friends Ramiro and Felipe, as well as some of the great food we ate and sights we saw. Take care!
