Chaiten, a ex-town beneath the volcano

29 Nov

Arrived at chaiten, which was evacuated in 2008 after the volcano erupted (erupted again in 2009). 4000 people moved away, 80 are left. Electricity from generators, water sometimes, basic food. Stayed in the area for 3 days waiting for a ferry out. The ship company wasn’t exactly sure when the ferry will arrive and if it is a car ferry.
