San Pedro de Atacama

Hello all. Arrived in San Pedro de Atacama, an oasis town in the Atacama Desert. Got up the following day at 3:45 am to visit the Tatio Geysers, which are hot pools of steamy water caused by volcanic magma underground. It was 10-15 degrees below freezing (pretty cold), but it was worth it to...

La Serena

Hello everyone. We visited the Humboldt National Park from here. This is home to one of the smallest species of penquin which only lives in this region. The penquins were incredibly cute, jumping belly first down the rocks, although a highlight for us was the large community of sea-lions that...

Vicuna

Hi there. Spent a couple of days in the Elqui Valley. We visited a collection of bugs, butterflies, fossils and spiders. The beetles were particularly gruesome, some bigger than your hand, with giant pincers and feelers. Reassuringly several of these are found in Peru and Ecuador, we shall...

Valparaiso

We are at the beach! No need to get too jealous, its freezing! Our first stop on the coast was Valparaiso, a town with multicoloured houses clinging to the cliffs and lifts taking people up and down. There is an open air art gallery with art work on the walls of houses. There was some...

Santiago

Hi there, It dawned on me and Billy that we are already a quarter of the way through our journey. Its going too fast! We arrived in Santiago with no chilean currency and totally clueless as to where our hostel was. The confusion came from me not realising there were four bus stations in...

A change in pace

My journey to into the wilderness of Chile has turned into something quite different. I don't have much time at the moment, so the following is a synopsis on which I'll elaborate later. Long story short, I fell in love with the chef of that serendipitous meal at the Hot Springs. There must have...

el campo

My visit to the mountains was more than I ever could have hoped for. I started my journey at Refugio de , about an hour and a half southeast of Talca on the bus. I spent two days at this wonderful hostel run by a french couple who biked through the area and desided to stay. The first...

La vida tipical

Sorry, I had too much to update and needed to take a break. I'll continue where I left off, which is really the start of a new journey anyway. So, I was invited to lunch unbeknownst of the fact that it would be prepared by an amazing chef. There must have been something in the comida...

Valparaiso, Chile

Linda and I took a day trip from Santiago to Valparaiso, a port town about an hour and a half from Santiago. The architecture was amazing. The whole valley was filled with multicolored houses of varying age and condition. There were many splendid old houses, old glass windows intact. There...
