After spending almost two weeks in this area I was very sorry to leave. It is a very nice, but as well very touristic little town. All my contacts were very friendly. Here some impressions, I uploaded them in quite high quality so you can enjoy them in more details by clicking on each foto:
Two elderly Chileans on the main street.
Cigarettes are sold only in bigger supermarkets and have huge labeling above them. In spanish written:
"Tabacco kills. If you want to keep living stop smoking.
In Chile the tabacco kills 14.000 people each year. You might be the next one. "
Like the "Lucky Strike" boxes you can see below are only half with the brand, the other half is the campaign picture and slogan. In all public accessible buildings smoking is forbidden and generally I have seen little people smoking.
The beach of lake "Villaricca". Birds looking for food and flying surround me.
View on the city and the little hill on the right side is the Peninsula, which is the safety area in case of a volcanic outbreak. The Peninsula is privately own I was denied to have a walk on it.
In the little city-harbour Chilies flag in the evening light.
The setting sun from the city harbour.
The all over Latin America popular "Mexico-Beetle". On the background the shadows of the fire brigade in the very city centre.
