Bustling crowds, bars and restaurants on every corner, a casino and the first English voice we have heard in over 4 weeks. In fact we have only had 5 conversations in English since we got here - a couple of tour guides, a hostal owner, our friend from San Francisco and a resident American who runs his own brewery.
Pucon is the up-market centre of the Lakes tourist industry and is crowded at the height of the season - however it is also fairly relaxed.
Treating ourselves to a night in a boutique hotel in the centre of town and an excellent Italian restaurant. Still hard to adjust to dining times here – we sat down after 8.30pm and were one of the first there. They were still coming into dine – with small kids – as we were leaving after 11.00 pm.
After a bit of shopping for essentials we headed off to find somewhere to stay next to one of the lakes. Two hours later – about 60km driving – and many refusals, we finally found a place looking down over Lago Villarica about 7km from town.
