Relaxing in the desert

After the madness of the Pacahmama tour we decided to chill in San Pedro for a couple of days and not really do a great deal. We stayed at the rustic hotel, practised our Spanish and finally got round to sending the tent and camping gear home (that´s the rucksacks a few kilograms lighter !!). We...

Pucon & Volcon Villarrica

So we had our first experience of an overnight bus in Chile, we´d heard they were pretty good and they surpassed our high expectations. It was like travelling on a plane but only much better (if not slightly slower). The seats were comfy, and there is an onboard attendant who places a pillow...

The weekend after our first Spanish lesson was a fairly mixed bag - we attended the legendary friday night La Casa Roja barbeque, spent most of the weekend doing the ton of homework we had been given and attended the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art on sunday. The following week we had lessons from...

Valparaiso

We're now back in Santiago at the infamous La Casa Roja hostel after spending 3 nights in gorgeous Valparaiso. We had a fantastic time there - it is a beautiful city. The first night we stayed in a hostel dorm but we soon moved to a 13th storey apartment due to TJ's snoring - this was...

Al fin del mundo y del viaje: Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas, 19. Dezember, 23:00 Uhr - Sehr viel weiter südlich reicht der südamerikanische Kontinent nicht. Nur Inseln und die Antarktis befinden sich dort noch. Und gen Osten, abgeteilt durch die Magellanstrasse, liegt die Insel Feuerland, Tierra del Fuego, teils Chile und teils Argentinien...
