Arrived here after a long day of bus journeys from Bariloche in Argentina via Osorno and were really pleased that we made the effort. We could tell instantly that the town had a good feel to it and looked forward to exploring the next day. It was also lovely that we seemed to be off the `beaten tourist track` for a change.
A great place to visit is the fish market where you can watch the sea lions and cormorants waiting to get the cast offs from the fishmongers as they prepare their stalls in the morning.... a bit smelly but a great spectacle. The museum too is well worth a visit and sets the scene nicely giving a good insight into the formation of Valdivia. The highlight, however, has to be the Kunstmann Brewery about 5 kms out of town ...... the beer here is truly outstanding and the meal we had was excellent (deer steak and spatzle for me, Pork medallions for Emma)..... whats more is that they have decent size glasses (by which I mean 1 litre glasses). After sampling all the varieties of beer that they had to offer, Emma and I stumbled our way back to our room and slept soundly until the next day
