We wake up Santa Lucia under a heavy downpour. We have to climb a pass, then go to Chaiten. During the climb of the pass, everything is fine: the legs heat, but the rain is there to cool them, it is not unpleasant. Everything is spoiled during the descent. With the speed, the inactivity of the legs and the rain whipping our faces, we are very cold and we are soaked. We decide at the end of the pass to hitch a ride for Chaiten. At that time, we are no longer talking about Chiloé, because this island is famous for its bad weather.
Several cars in the other direction propose to take us back to Santa Lucia. We are obstinate and want to move forward. Road workers (the road is under construction) can't take us back to Chaiten, but to Perto Cardenas, in the right direction but 45 km before Chaiten, we accept. He drops us off at Lulu's, where we are very well received. This little granny who had this good hospedaje offered us a hot soup at noon.
