Chiloé - Land of Witches, Mermaids and Ghosts

The volcano Osorno rises above the clouds; snow-capped, serene, quiet for now. It is March 2013 and we are on our way to Chiloé, an archipelago off the west coast of Chile in Northern Patagonia. Tomorrow we drive to Puerto Montt and take the ferry to La Isla Grande de Chiloé, but today we are treating ourselves to a touch of modern Chilean luxury before plunging into the labyrinth of myths and magic that is Chiloé.
