Today is All Saints’ Day in Chile. We couldn’t find a place open for coffee but we did find a mini mart where we got some pastries and took them back to our dome where we stayed the last two nights. Then we packed up and drove from Futrono to Ni-Newen Lodge near Pucón where we are tonight. Because of All Saints’ Day every cemetery we passed on our drive had cars parked for blocks around and lots of venders selling flowers.

We ate dinner at the lodge

This morning we went into town to find some coffee. We didn’t really find a coffee shop but we did find a place that served coffee and we got some very good pastries from the bakery across the street.

In the afternoon we decided to do a nearby hike we found on AllTrails. But when we got to the trailhead it turned out to be a nice dirt road in a beautiful valley. It definitely wasn’t a hiking trail. We walked for about three miles mainly on the road.

For dinner we went to a steak house called Restaurante De Pellin y Coigüe. It had a wonderful view of the lake and mountains.
