Pies and the prettiest cakes you have ever seen!
The Lakes District of Patagonia, both the Chilean and Argentinian sides, have been heavily influenced by German immigration. Apart for boasting spectacular views of volcanoes, it also has some very cute villages that look like something more out of Europe. This is in the town of Fruitillar, which was a colorful town of distinct wooden German architecture. It is a real delight to find great baked goods. I have to say, the Germans have that down pretty well! We biked from here along Lago Llanquihue (we can´t pronounce it either, and we´ve heard it spoken many times--part of the indigenous heritage is in a lot of un-pronounceable names) back to the town of Puerto Varas where we stayed. Two volcanoes dominate the skyline across the lake.
