Santiago, Pucon, Valdivia, Frutillar, Puerto Varas

A tale of two volcanoes

Vildivia - famous for its sealions
After leaving Pucon on a nice hot sunny day, I had it in my mind to try a town somewhere off the main backpacker route. My book reckoned that Vildivia was pretty cool, so I caught another bus across the country to the coast (only a mere 5 hours or so) to ...
You can´t be nice to all the people all the time
... Beach, for that matter. Every once in awhile, you´ve got to land in a Flint, Michigan, or Union, South Carolina. Osorno is definitely in the category of a get in and get out city. Strange, considering that the surrounding countryside still ranks up ...
Sunbathing By the Volcano
Once again we arrived in Chile. The plan was that Rona and I would go to Osorno and wait for our friends, Arnon and Guy, to come meet us and we would go to a trek together. So we found a nice little hostel and started exploring the city. Osorno isn't ...
Yet more sea lions
Bit of a mistake. According to the Lonely Planet, Oruro was easy to get to from Bariloche, and had a good national park nearby. So when we arrived we hot-footed it to the tourist "information" office, where the conversation went like this: "Hello, do ...
Bariloche to Osorno
We left Bariloche in the morning and arrived in Osorno, Chile in the early afternoon. The busride was beautiful as it went winding through the Andes on a gorgeous sunny day. Osorno was a fairly unexciting, non-descript modern city. It had some old ...
El autobus no trabaja

Rucksacktour mit Jule: Heimfahrt
Den Donerstag verbrachten wir im Bus. Wir fuhren bis nach Osorno und hatten da einige Stundne Aufenthalt, am Abend gings dann weiter nach Viña. Der Nachtbus war "Ejecutivo". Voll geil! Da gabs ein ausklappbares Fussteil am Sitzt, sodass man ein ...
Osorno - Town that is Nowhere near anything useful
Took a 6:45am bus out of Pucon on thursday 2 feb and missed my connecting bus in Osorno by 10min. The reaction of the bus company was one of ´so what?´ but after having a decent bitch to them they said I could come back at 5:45pm to see if there would ...

Osorno's Volcano

Osorno, Chile
Happy Good Friday. I'm stuck in Osorno, Chile, for the next few hours until I catch an overnight bus to Santiago. I'll be heading to Valparaiso for Easter, as good a town as any, I figure, and will stop over in Santiago again on my way back to Mendoza, ...

Osorno and Area

Fuite de Chiloe
... pendant les 15 minutes de traversée, on voit la mer depuis la fenêtre du bus c'est assez drôle. On est arrivé à Osorno vers 18h15, j'avais bien avancé mon bouquin médieval Agincourt (un gros pavé). Un Couch Surfer devait me retrouver au terminal ...
