Wednesday 11th December (Odyssey Day 33) We departed Pucon this morning, heading northward again. The plan is a couple of one night camps before reaching Santiago for the weekend. We made a stop today at a small waterfall just after lunch. Well, actually not really all that small. The Salto del Laja waterfall was quite beautiful although put me in mind a bit of a really poorly built dam, as the water fell over a fairly smooth and flat rock wall that almost looked man made. A few of the guys went swimming while the girls opted for just cooling their feet on the edge, though Emma also dunked her head in. It soon a little too hot though and we gathered together to get on our way. Our camp today was just a few kilometres ... read more

Do Los Angeles jsme se dostali o 6 rano a cekali jsme na stanici asi do 8. Nemeli jsme ani mapu, ani zadny tip na levne ubytovani, ale ve skoro 200 tisicovem meste by to nemel byt problem. Chvili to vypadalo docela blede a my uz rikali, ze budeme muset vysolit kolem 40 dolaru, ale nakonec se mi podarilo na pruzkumu najit jedno bydleni, kde meli misto a moc to nestalo. Duvodem proc jsme sem vlastne jeli byli asi 25 km vzdalene vodopady - Salto del Laja - prezdivane "male Niagary", jedny z nejvetsich v Chile. Hned jsme se tam vydali a nasli je totalne oblezene mistnimi, kempuji, bydlici kolem nich, vsude sama restaurace nebo kramek s blbostma pro turisty. Samotne vodopady byly super, i kdyz prirovnani k Niagaram trochu pokulhava...Aspon ted v lete kdy je ... read more

Summary in English: To all our English speaking friends - hi from Chile to all of you. We have great time here. We arrived to Santiago and are heading south. Our first few days trip was in National Park Laguna de Laja. We made a circuit of the Volcano Antuco. It was 3 days trip and we had a great time, saw beautiful nature as you can see on our enclosed pictures. Take care all of you. And here are few of ours observations: - humble-bees are so big that we give them priority on the way better from both ways - there are many dogs on the streets here asking for some food - people are very kind and speak even if you do not understand them - the transport is very cheap and especially ... read more

Vitame vas a zdravime z juznej ameriky, fotky este nemame stiahnute, ale boli sme teraz na super 3 dnovom treku okolo sopky Antuco. Ak by ste mali niekto cestu urcite sa oplati ist. Prechod cez lavove pole bol pre nas trochu psychycky narocnejsi, ale zvladli sme to :). Pocasie nam zatial praje, aj dorozumievanie, vsak po spanielsky nevieme, ale vhodne to mixujeme s rukami a anglictinou. Ale to vas koniec koncov nezaujima a hlavne chcete vidiet fotky, tak snad nabuduce :) Majte sa.... read more

It was a 2 day drive from Pucon to Santiago, driving on the Pan-American Highway, so it was a gratefully a little less bumpy. We broke up the trip by camping at Salto del Laja, a lovely waterfall. From the campsite we could hear the water rushing. It was quite soothing. About 200 km away from Santiago we stopped at the Miguel Torres winery for a tour. The tour was a good but we couldn't hear the guide all the time. We did get to eat grapes off the vine. They had a few rows of all the different varieties for red and white wine. We also got the try the wine which was OK but we didn't buy any. It costed 5 pounds. If had bought 6 bottles of wine it would have been free. ... read more
