After winning a $100 on a Star Wars Slot Machine, we were ready to leave Puerto Varas and head to the island of Chiloe. On board Cruz del Sur, we drove southwest of Puerto Montt, and took a ferry to the island of Chiloe. From the ferry, we were able to see a dolphin and some penguins swimming in the vast ocean. Our enthusiasm was palpable. All it takes is the sight of wildlife to set our hearts pumping. When we arrived to Castro, we attempted to locate our hostel, Palafito on foot. Unfortunately, our bags were so heavy (still carrying 6 bottles of wine!) we finally gave up and hailed a cab (the better choice considering the hostel was located down a steep heel). Just as we hoped, the hostel was an original “Palafito.” a traditional house built on wooden stilts, and the main attraction that drew us here. It was the perfect place to take in all the charm of this far away corner.
Yay for winning money! :)
