Hola... My wife and I need to get from Puerto Montt to Bariloche on March 12th and need help finding/considering how to do the trip. We wanted to take the boat/bus combo ( www.crucedelagos.cl) but it appears they only operate until March 11th. We also looked into the bus (www.andesmar.com.ar) but we are unable to figure out the time table (where is Puerto Montt listed as a departure point, what is the name of the bus terminal in Puerto Montt). We also looked into the possibility of flying via LAN Chile, but they do not offer a flight on either of the days we can go (March 11th, 12th). We are even interested if we can arrange a private flight from Puerto Montt to Bariloche. Any help would be appreciated (websites, names/phone numbers, Tourism contacts, travel agent contacts, etc). Gracias... Darren
