Arica, Chile
Bodyboarding off the pierWe are in Pt. Varas, Chile right now. Just visited the most beautiful river-waterfalls I have ever seen. Saltos de Petrohue...jet boat was closed because it has been raining, A LOT, and the river was raging. That means snow up high and so we are heading to Santiago on the night bus (11 hrs) to try and catch the storm in Valle de Nevado. There is so much in Chile that we haven´t been able to see. That means that I will have to return, eh?
Yesterday we took the boat across Lago Todos los Santos to a home where we were told serves lunch. A cute old lady rambling on in Spanish invited us into her house where she cooked us fresh Steelhead and let us dry out by the fire. One of the best lunch experiences yet! Food is really good in Chile, one thing we are going to miss when we make our way North to Bolivia. But I hear Argentina has steaks bigger than I would ever be able to finish!!! Steak and wine, not bad!
Went rafting out of Pucon, a town filled with outdoor activities...skiing the volcano, mountaineering, rafting fishing, hot springs (some of the
Arica
Typical market scene best I´ve ever seen) and lots of lake activities in the summer. This area of Chile reminds me a lot of the Olympic Peninsula with rainforest, high mountains, beautiful rivers and lakes.
Ok, till next time...happy trails.
