Campfire in Nat. Park Chiloe

2 day hike along the pacific coast of Chiloe, sun, rain, wind they have it al on the island.....here with some chilenos (and a german)
After doing 2 days of kayaking in Bariloche...yeah I finaly control the eskimoroll now. I relaxed a bit in the city in the mountains....before I started to make my way back to Chili....Guess I was lucky with my ride, the car that stopped had to go to the same place as I wanted to go...so 4 hours later and 2 times the paperwork at the boarder I was back in Chili.
there I found out that Hitchhiking even works with two guys (and two great backpacks).
I met an American Guy there when freecamping at the lake side, and together we went to a Nat. Park to hike a couple days along vulcano Osorno and some beautiful lakes and mountains.
days later I made my way to Chiloe, an Island a bit smaller than holland do some more hiking.
Different from the rest of Chile because it rains so much here (reminds me of home) but even with the rain it's beatiful
On my way to the nat. park I met some chilenos who wanted to do the same hike, so I joined them and on the road we picked up a German in our group aswell. So with a mix

From there I will go to Patagonia to do some camping and outdoorsports!! 2 years ago I started travelling, to Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia (incl. Borneo),Thailand,Laos and Cambodia.
