Day 1 - Santiago
- Puerto Varas
Flight in the evening Santiago-Puerto Montt. Arrival at airport The Tepual.
Transfer from airport El Tepual-Puerto Varas. Accommodation at Hotel Cabañas
del Lago or a family hotel. We have selected the best hotels in the area,
if you choose a family hotel, we guarantee you a calm atmosphere, with
excellent personal service. (Every hotel has king-size beds and private
bathroom). 22:30 Hrs. Welcome cocktail with the best seafood of the area
and a selected Chilean wine. Chilean cabernets have been awarded international
prizes several times. At the turn of the century a vine disease struck
France, Germany and California, destroying many of the best grapes. Because
of Chile´s remoteness, its grapes have never been struck by natural disasters.
Therefore the vineyards have the best grapes in the world. We will serve
these fine and delicious wines. It is interesting to know that France
is one of the largest importers of Chilean wines. Spend the night in a
selected hotel.

Day 2 - Culinary
Safari
We will visit the traditional Fish market of Angelmó in a very comfortable
4x4 Ford truck equipped with panoramic windows. Our guide, and Chef, will
show us the diverse types of fish and shellfish. He will teach us how
to choose, eat and of course how to prepare them. Later, we will stop
in a southern field, to visit the surroundings and Richard will serve
us a Gulasch-suppe and fresh salads that we will eat either inside or
outside of the house depending on the weather at that time. From Totoral
we will go skirting the majestic lake Llanquihue heading for the Volcano,
visiting Frutillar, Puerto Octay, Cascada and Ensenada to end in Puerto
Varas. The itinerary will be even more flavorful spiced with Chilean red
wine, various delicious cheeses and fresh Italian bread. Next to the lake,
where we will have a great view of the lakes and volcanoes we will toast
with a winter champagne. Whoever wishes, can also have coffee with the
traditional southern Kuchen. 20:00-23:00 hrs. In the city of Puerto Varas
we will get to know the good cuisine and warm atmosphere of the Merlin
Restaurant with its various offers of regional and external dishes. You
will be served original Chilean cuisine which is a rich combination of
national influences as well as culinary traditions from Spain, France,
Germany, and Italy. All the components-- meats, vegetables, fruits and
seasoning-- are Chilean. Later at night we recommend you to head towards
the casino of Puerto Varas. Spend the night in a selected Hotel.
