Valparaiso - day trip packed with danger and action

Hi folks. More and more I feel like I´m taloking to a silent audience, I don´t mind it, but sorry if it´s weird that I address you etc. It kinda reminds me of that famous guy in psychology (Jung?) with a theory on stages of development, and one characteristic ... Read more >

Arrived Santiago - encounter with police en-route

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 | By luchinko | Views [860]

It was a hectic and boring 2 days of bus travel. It was still dark when I left the Residentio in Puerto Natales with my super fat mega packs and strode to the bus stop. I dozed a bit on the way to Punto Arenas, but was a bit worried about missing my ... Read more >

Am Ende des Weges - nach Santiago und dann nach Hause

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 | By rayen | Views [778]

Irgendwann wurde die Autobahn 4-spurig - kurz vor Santiago. Die letzten paar Wochen habe ich fast nur in den Bergen verbracht, manchmal war die einzige Person, die ich in einer Woche gesehen habe der Nationalparksranger an einem Kontrollpunkt. ... Read more >

The hardest bitch on earth

If you will forgive this bit of ego-flaunting, I just survived a very tough trek and feel like giving myself many pats on the back (and kisses on the arse).  Torres del Paine ... it was take 2, and with many question marks on the way, I finally did ... Read more >

Ascensores in Valparaiso

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 | By bagen | Views [784]

This place is so quirky, retro, ecclectic that it even had me taking pictures of graffiti! Tis an old coastal city perched on the hills around a bay. Some clever one from way back decided to save the townsfolk from oversized calf muscles and built ... Read more >

Santiago - The Big Smoke

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 | By bagen | Views [824]

So we made it to our second South American capital - Santiago! Which incidentally is also a fairly common name given to boys here in South America and its shortened to "Santi" which is pretty neat. Anyhoo. We were forewarned ... Read more >

Hey Folks, I don´t know where to start with all the places I´ve been in the last month.  It would have been so much easier to upload as I went along but technology hasn´t really reached that end of the world just yet.  And, in it´s own way, it was lovely ... Read more >

Climbing an Active Volcano

Our final stop in the wonderful Patagonia was Pucon! An irresistably gorgeous wee town snuggled up to an active volcano! Volcan Villarica is a classic pyramid shaped volcano of about 2800m and is still active! It huffs and puffs away and apparently ... Read more >

Mein Pass hat inzwischen eine gute Menge Ein- und Ausreisestempel von Argentinien und Chile abbekommen. Meine Reiseroute der letzten Zeit liest sich in ungefähr so: argentinisches Patagonien - chilenisches Patagonien - um die chilenische Seite ... Read more >
