Kristy & Adam - South America Adventures

Hola from Chile!

Over the past few weeks we have travelled from La Serena's little beach side township to the bustling capital of Chile, Santiago. We only spent one night there as its a typically big city with not a lot going on and we will spend a few days there at the end of our trip.

We jumped on another overnight bus straight away and headed for the lakes district. We stopped in the lovely snow capped mountainous village of Pucon. On our first day we relaxed and organised some tours.

We spent some time out at the national park here hiking, we got half way through our hike, then Adam was quite ill so we turned back. Yesterday we spent some time at the hot springs relaxing, and today hired mountain bikes and rode about 10kms on a bike track through the snow capped mountains, and over rivers. We stopped for a nice picnic in the sun. The weather here is fantastic.

We´re off further south tommorrow to Puerto Montt which is meant to be very similar to here, then off to an Island called Chiloe, where we are hoping to go on a tour to see the penguin colonys.

Keep in touch
