South America - flowers at Museo Colonial Aleman, Frutillar

South America- Frutillar, Chile

Museo Colonial Aleman, Frutillar: Located on a hillock, The German Colonial Museum recreates the typical layout of an estancia in the middle of the 19th century, when German immigrants settled in Frutillar. The gardens, as well as the five buildings with wood shingle walls, overlook the lake. A walk among aged trees and colorful flowerbeds led us to each of the buildings we visited. The room is an introduction to the tour of the museum, displays the historical background of the colonization process of Llanelli, as well as the characteristics of the archaeological and Hispanic occupation of the region. The exhibition includes pieces from the era, documents and photographs. The garden is absolutely fabulous. There were some flowers I saw for the first time, like that orange colored flowers at the lake front (see my last post) and then again in the garden.
