Pucón

I arrived to Puerto Montt very late. I realized that the bus goes at 17:00 arriving to Puton after 22 basically leaving no room for booking for next day. So I decided to contact Adam and Jana to do me lift in the morning to closest city on they way to Santiago which was 35km away from Villarrica. They agreed to pick me up next morning after they arrived by the ferry. They also talked to their friends in Pucon to visit them basically taking me all the way down to Pucon and also introducing another Czech Chilean couple. We visited they house which was trying to be maximally eco friendly with the grass on the roof and so on. I organized Villarrica volcano trek for next day. We had beautiful late vegetarian lunch and I went to local non touristic waterfall with them. All were very friendly people.

The trek to volcano started at 6:30 by moving to the base of it by car. Than before sunrise we took chair lift to help us gain first 400m attitude and then the walk to gain another 1100m attitude started. We used crampons from the half of the trail to cross the glacier up to the top where we took them down again. We walked lightweight without crampons and bags last 20 mins to reach the top. It was beautiful sunny weather with weak wind. But the breathing mask was still necessary. You could see lava at the bottom of volcano. We spent some time there and started to descent again. This time full 1500m attitude. After more than 8 hours of tracking the beer at the base was mandatory. 

Two more celebration beers and proper steak down in the city. I now had to decide what to do tomorrow as that was the day when Chile we counting people basically forcing everybody to stay home. All shops, restaurants, activities and also national parks were closed. I decided to move to Valparaiso by night bus. I bought cama seat (like bed) but unfortunately in the last line so my back seat wasn't fully foldable so I had terrible night but managed to rest little bit to a point when bus assistant woke me up at midnight that I need to fill the form for counting the people even though I'm tourist. I appeared in Valparaiso early morning and accommodated in one of the colourful hostel to sleep at least 2 more hours.
