+ Pensant Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 I last visited Chile in 1991, right after the Capitán-General relinquished power. Drove to Puerto Montt, the gateway to Patagonia. I was struck at how much it looked like the PNW down south. Pristine cities, like Valdivia, full of dairy farms and Germanic architecture. I’d love to return. marylander1940 1

The scenic backdrop to all three cities would do that, irrespective of the cityscapes.
