Bit of a mistake. According to the Lonely Planet, Oruro was easy to get to from Bariloche, and had a good national park nearby. So when we arrived we hot-footed it to the tourist "information" office, where the conversation went like this:

"Hello, do you have any information on trekking around here?"
"No"
"Oh, but isnīt the national park nearby?"
"No."
"Right. Well while we're here, is there anything to see or do in this town?"
"No."

Needless to say we got straight back onto a bus, this time to Valdivia. We were only there for a night, but it seemed quite a nice town. We went out for drinks with two American girls, who told us that Chilean guys were really shy then brought two noisy latino lovers back to the hostel at 6 o' clock in the morning. The next day we went to see the strange fish market on the edge of the river, where huge sea lions haul themselves out of the water to fight for the scraps. I'm not a fan of smelly fish markets at the best of times, but this one was definitely worth it!
