Back to Santiago
This is probably going to be the last post from our travel (unless we get bored in the airport). The last days were quite full, we travelled a lot and visited many new places on our way back to Puerto Montt. Pucon was our first stop. It used to be called “backpackers paradise” but we…

Lake district and Araucanía
After leaving our friends in Puerto Montt we drove further north to Puerto Octay, a small (german) town at one of the lakes found in this region. We stayed at a beautiful B&B with view to the volcano Osorno. …which we tried to climb up… but with more than 30º C, no shadow and lots…

Relax in Punta Arenas
The last two days in Punta Arenas were a good way to recharge our batteries and walk around without haste. We stayed in a nice B&B owned by a US-Chilean couple. We walked around in the city and visited a museum which finally cleared up our doubts about the indigenous populations of Patagonia and Tierra…

Puerto Natales

Santiago

Córdoba
Happy new year! On the 31st we took our flight to Córdoba. It was turbulent. So turbulent that Teresa is thinking about continuing the trip by car… From the airport of Córdoba we drove around 100 km southwest to Los Reartes to visit our friend and best man Alessandro and his family. In the evening…

Second day in BA
Teresa doesn’t write much, I guess I’ll have to make up for her 😉 Yesterday was great, we walked a lot to see the nicest neighbourhoods: Puerto Madero, San Telmo, Palermo… We had a very good dinner in an Uruguayan restaurant, where an old waiter convinced me to drink a fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina…

Today we walked, ate, walked, ate,… Very friendly people, very good beef.
