Carreterra Austral Day 5 Puyuhuapi To Puerto Cisnes

Heading out of Puyuhuapi we had a good start from camp with a nice day.

The road was completely rippio with road works galore and they were setting up for rock blasting.

With our stunning day on hand we took a small turnoff to the river for lunch, this turned into a shower and clothes wash as well given the warmth of the sun and the breeze to help dry, just a stunning place.

Turning off the main drag we opted to head to Puerto Cisnes with the view of buying fresh fish and making chips so for all the Kiwi readers a good feed of greezies and for all you “others” fush n chups.

There was a rodeo on this day (Saturday) so pretty much the whole town was closed, Juan and I went from place to place finding all the necessaries to creating the perfect feed.

In all the excitement Juan had to make a wee stop

The evening was set around making a feed and having some drinks, we got our camp site sorted (free again) right on the waterfront.

Our feed was a progressive type with chips and fish being made one pot at a time over the camp stove making a rolling dinner.
