Un lago increíble (el 4 de diciembre)

Ka oho i te ata, ka konihi atu ki te wharepaku. Me haere ma te rūma moe o Tamsin rāua ko Troels! Koina te pai o El Hostal Vista Hermosa! Ka rite, ka heke ki te pūtahitanga o Puerto Montt rapu ai i te parakuihi. Kia tae atu ki La Plaza de Armas (te marae matua o te tāone) kua pai te hanga. He rangi ātaahua, ā, he pai te tirohanga atu ki te moana ki te tonga.

Ka hīkoi atu ki te barrio de Angelmo. He tiriti roa rawa e tūtū ana ngā tini pātaka hokohoko. He rawe ā rātou taonga – he mea whatu, he rākau whakairo, he pūeru. Kei te pito he mākete kaimoana. Te nui o ngā momo mātaitai. Ka hokona te hāmana pāwhara.

Ka hoki whaka te pūtahitanga ka peka atu ki te wharekai almorzar ai. Te reka o ā mātou kai – pisco sours, merluza (uturi), jaiva (pāpaka), congrio (hokarari), locos (pāua!), sopaipillas (parāoa parai). Kua waia pai ngā hoa ki te kai chilena. I te hokinga ki te hostal ka hoko a Troels i te hāte e mau ana te hanga o tētahi Selk’nam no La Tierra del Fuego, he tāne tahanga e whakaari ana i te wairua kino i te wā o ngā mahi whakatāne. Ki a au nei, he mahi poka noa te mau hāte pērā, ina kūware ki te iwi. Kei runga te whakaahua i hoaina ai te pikitia i runga i tana hāte.

I te ahiahi i taraiwa atu ki te roto o Llanquihue. He rite ki a Taupō te hanga, engari huri noa he maunga puia – ko Osorno, ko Puntiagudo, ko Calbuco. He maunga whakamīharo, no más. Me te mārama o te wai. Ka haere tonu i reira ki tētahi atu roto, ko Petrohué te ingoa. Me kī, he awaawa waipuke. Huri noa ngā maunga teitei e tare iho ana. Kei pōhēhētia kei tētahi o ngā roto o Te Moana Pounamu!

Ko te maunga puia, ko Osorno te mea ātaahua rawa. He koeko pū te hanga, ā, ka tū i mua i ngā roto ānō ko ia te rangatira o ngā rangatira. He whenua ātaahua rawa a Chile! Titiro ki te whitiata nei no Petrohué:
