    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…

    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…

    We’ve been visiting Chiloe for the last three days and we find it fantastic. It is the second biggest island of Chile after Tierra del Fuego, very green and incredibly different from anything we’ve seen in Chile so far. We arrived in Puerto Montt on the 14th, took a rental car and drove to Ancud,…

  • 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

    After 3 days of camping in Torres del Paine we arrived in Puerto Natales. We were lucky with the weather in the national park – only yesterday night it was raining and windy as I haven’t had it before. Puerto Natales is the only city (which you can actually call city) besides Punta Arenas in…

    Just a short post, we are at the Lago Grey in the National Park of Torres del Paine, and we’re about to take a boat tour to the glacier. The sceneries are amazing, the weather is good but very windy, and our legs are hurting from the 8 hours hike of yesterday. More from us…

    On the 4th of January we arrived in Punta Arenas. This city is different from everything we have seen before. Houses are old en simple. Some are made of wood, some of sheel metal. In the gardens you can find beautiful flowers and rotten cars. Here at the very south the sky looks somehow different-…

    The flight over the Andes was beautiful – and not turbulent. Santiago is huge. We walked through the nice colourful neighbourhood of Bellavista. Cafés at every street corner, jazz music, empanadas, pisco sour and big smiles are some of the nice things you can expect from Santiago…

    Hi there! Just a small post from Santiago before we leave for Patagonia. On the 2nd January we had a long walk to the lake of Los Molinos. It was hot but totally worth it. The colours are stunning, and the smartphone photos we’re putting in this blog just don’t make justice of the place.…
