Osorno

This was our bus interchange town three times. It’s the capital of the province and the centre of dairy and meat. We certainly never planned it as a destination but were stranded here for a night when we missed the bus to Chile by 15 minutes. It had a plethora of gigantic supermarkets, (one of which looked suspiciously like ASDA, it could well be WALMART’s doing - boo).Most of Osorno isn't much to look at, but this very modern church on the town square caught our eye.

The town also had a nice, pedestrianised road and will be remembered by us mainly for its good coffee and strudel – German influence in the area.A recent addition, in December 2008 to the town square.  The bull symbolises productivity, virility and celebrates the town's position as the centre of Chile's beef and cheese industry.
