A few more than six feet under
This is a top pick! ... wrung hands in an auditorium-sized class. And he's ugly. Take that Fidel Sepúlveda.) 5)Social and Historical Perspectives of Chile (Taught by a director of my interchange program. All gringos and program members, but probably the most fun and ...
Getting Used to Clean Air
This is a top pick! ... built by mining companies in the late '60s with funding from CORFA, a Chilean government entity that helped fund development in Chile for a few decades, especially under the Frei and Allende governments in the 60s and 70s. The pool once formed part of ...
Chilling out in Chile.....16-18 Nov
This is a top pick! ... did the tasting with us was only in his 3rd week, but he was lovely. What a great way to end to our time in Chile, I want to comeback. The people here seem to be much happier, friendlier and nicer than in Argentina... It is the 5th anniversary of losing ...
floating on salt...
This is a top pick! But our other attempts to experience and appreciate this seemingly uninhabitable ecosystem are met with success....and more salt. We join a group of people heading out of town to float on the water of these 5 ponds that miraculously appear on ...
Letting it Out
This is a top pick! ... clash with my American sentiments and upbringing than whine. That doesn't mean they aren't irritating. I'll list a few. Chile prides itself in being a developed Latin American country, clean and relatively safe. Still, the universities, public offices ...
Addendum to Buenos Aires
This is a top pick! I'd like to add an addendum to that last entry, because someone I know made an interesting point. A friend of my father, who is married to an argentine woman, questioned my assertion that Argentines were somehow beyond defining their identity-that they ...
Altiplano and The Valley of the Moon (San Pedro 2)
This is a top pick! Wednesday, 7/5/2006 After a fitful night's sleep (it was damned cold), I awoke at 6 a.m. for an all-day tour. I awoke coughing, my chest and lungs stinging, despite the fact that I'd gone to bed in long underwear, a sweater and a warm hat. I'd packed ...
Warm in Chile
This is a top pick! ... ;who also had been deposited there....starts the engine and says - do up your seat belts...it is the law in Chile......wow....Bolivia doesn't even require announcements when shooting off dynamite in the mine when you are hosting some nice visitors bearing ...
it's HOT in CHILE !!
This is a top pick! ... on the street, even if a stranger... they usually kiss you on the cheek goodbye. Skin color is lighter in Chile...theoretically there are fewer indigenous people and much more of a Spanish influence genetically. Chilenos are well dressed, ...
Camping on an Andean restauranteur´s patio
This is a top pick! So I set off from Colina, along a beautiful, quiet road, surrounded by lovelt mountain scenery. This was much more what I came for, I thought, and was quite happy and contented until... yep, it joined a motorway. You think I´m making this up? I got ...
Lobbing Shells Over the Andes
This is a top pick! ... the way they can laugh at themselves, and at their history-even if they won't do it aloud. Pedro de Valdivia, Chile's conqueror, arranged the Chilean expedition illegally, and only fooled 11 people into coming to the dangerous land down south, where ...
Catching Up
This is a top pick! ... . And it was certainly strange to re-enter a country that I saw myself in the process of leaving. The prospect of two weeks in Chile after such a successful tour drained me, and as I settled into bed at the hotel, sleep came easily. In truth, I think I ...
Chile and a slight change of plans!
This is a top pick! ... Chile untill we reach Santiago in the south and the location of our flight to Oz...... after some reseach and realising that Chile was mainly desert in between San Pedro and Santiago we decided to add another stamp to the passort and work south through ...
Route 40
This is a top pick! Route 40 is infamous around these parts (and farther afield too it has to be said) for its emptiness: rightly so. This was not a stretch that we were looking forward to as we knew that it would be virtually all 'ripio' (gravel-type roads), there would be ...
Changes
This is a top pick! For the last few days, I´ve dropped off the face of the earth. My first Chilean family, during my two weeks there, invited four foreign exchange students (not including myself)to live in the house. Before welcoming me into their home, they signed a ...
Friday in San Pedro
This is a top pick! ... me "Thursday afternoon." My flight out was on Monday morning. I went to an internet cafe, found USAA's toll-free number in Chile online, and then called it from a payphone. The card cancelled, I headed back to the hotel. I wasn't totally moneyless in ...
In the beginning, there was an airport
This is a top pick! So this is the start. I had to almost totally dismantle my bike to fit it in the little box that Iberia provided me with at Heathrow (and charged me a fiver for! But then it did have a picture of a bike on the side, so maybe that´s why). By some ...
The puffing volcano, my ice axe and me.
This is a top pick! Pucon, Chile. Now we're talking. The small city with a population of about 21,000 is probably Chile's most famous adventure travel destination. And rightly so I guess. It got lots of adrenaline activities for the intrepid traveller, like rafting, ...
The Gringo trail.
This is a top pick! ... la Luna. And then I got lost in the maze of Devil's Gorge around sunset, mountain biking with four extremely friendly guys from Chile (in one blog entry I think I said that I found Chilean people a bit difficult to get in contact with, but after meeting ...
Buses, ferries and boarder crossings...27-1 Dec.
This is a top pick! ... . We then change onto a much nicer bus before we headed back through Tierra del Fuego and 4 border crossings. Argentina – Chile (exit and entry) and then Chile – Argentina (exit and entry)...So in the matter of a couple of hours we ...
We leave Tierra del Fuego
This is a top pick! ... our cycling and as it was so cold, kept our pitstops to a minimum! With the favourable wind, we pushed on into Chile where we realised that we had neither obtained the required Argentinian exit stamp, nor remembered to get any Chilean currency! We pushed ...
From Argentina to Chile!
This is a top pick! ... plenty of people to chat to..... or just veg out to a movie. Anyways, the pass was fine and so was our arrival into Santiago Chile! We completed another wine tour, this time at a winery called concha y toro, it was not as good as some of the other ...
Climbing Volcano Villarrica
This is a top pick! Volcano Villarrica, one of the most active volcanos in Chile, dominates the landscape for miles around with its perfectly connical form, snowcapped top, and billowing clouds of gas emanating from the crater. At 2840m its not exactly easy to climb in a ...
Eureka, we´ve reached Arica!
This is a top pick! ... from one side to the other, perhaps every 10 yards or so, which went on for mile after mile. This surprised us for Chile is a prosperous country in South America; but of course this is earthquake country. You might have heard about the earthquake of 13th ...
Chi Chi Chi...
This is a top pick! ... Top 5. Ok - so I really don't know much about Chile. And I'm here for 10 days. So what do I know about Chile? The history? Nada. Culture and traditional? Pocito. Language? Average. I have been learning however. Here are the top 5 random things ...
"Adventures in Sand boarding," with Emilio
This is a top pick! ... driver, a chubby, jovial San Pedro Indian handed me a book on the region's history, printed and compiled by CODELCO, Chile's national copper company, while Emilio looked for the other five people who'd promised to come sandboarding that day. Emilio is ...
In the Atacama Desert
This is a top pick! ... 'Hostels for Backpackers in Chile' (it seems that lonely Planet is a lost cause as far as helping the traveller find good accomodation in Chile) and we ask a local man where it is. He kneels down in the dusty road and sketches a map and so helps us head ...
In Patagonia
This is a top pick! ... with tightly cramped seats, bumpy roads, and inadequate meal stops. Getting from Ushuaia in Argentina to nearby Puerto Williams in Chile is also a difficult connection to make, and tourists are usually ripped off to the tune of USD$100 for the short boat ...
Volcanoes and Fire
This is a top pick! ... in the distance across the lake of blue. The view confirms the feeling that we are in a geographically different part of Chile, the Lake District. After an abortive attempt to stay at a German operated backbapckers (where it seemed really cramped and ...
Carretera Austral
This is a top pick! ... 3 hours later than expected and after what seems like days of travelling on the bus I feel about 3 years older. Compared to Chile Chico, Coyhaique feels like a big city. In the centre is a strange pentagon shaped plaza from which a series of roads ...
