Talca
This is a top pick! Alex: We only had one night in Talca on our way up north. It was a good base to access the surrounding countryside and vineyards but wasn't very touristy in itself. That said it did it's job and broke up the journey to Santiago for Dean and I and further ...
An Adventure to Remember
This is a top pick! Three hours, a long desert road, a candle lit town, abondoned mines, a rocky beach and getting lost finding a way out - one of the experiences of my ...
Sunshine at Last!

Price and Smell
... Vivian and I still need to settle on is a price for is the tradeoff between a smelly or not smelly hotel room. Today in Talca we faced the ideal tradeoff (for test purposes) between 2 almost identical hotels, one with a smelly room and one without. Here ...
The Way Of The Cross
... 11, started very early and ended extremely late. Around 6:30am I awake to get ready for my adventure in Talca, a city about 1.5 hours north of Parral. Chile is separated into 15 regions and I live in the 7th Region. There are 4 Provinces: ...
Talca - the wine region
We left Pucon and drove 532 km to Talca (35 degrees latitude), the wine region of Chile. As we drove north the terrain changed. Pucon, which looked like Oregon started to look like Napa, California at 38 degrees latitude. We hadn't made a ...
Wine Tasting in the Maule Valley
... nice! Dave has now decided he is going to add being a vineyard owner to his list of future careers, along with ice climbing ofcourse! Talca itself it quite nice, the sun is out at last, and they do massive ice creams. Fantastic. Driving up north from ...
Chilean Wine Country - Chilly but beautiful
... . We had an adventure getting from Santiago to the wine country in the Maule region...we took an evening bus down and got to talca about 9ish. We grabbed a cab to a hostel that was really recommended in lonely planet...the cab ride kept going and going, ...
Driving through vines
... year's eathquake. We stopped in San Fernando for lunch and I had the first green salad since I arrived here. Salad in Chile is usually the Ensalada Chilena, which means tomato, onion and cilantro. Lettuce is not very common here. We then ...
Surfers paradise - not
So this was it, my worst day so far! After getting up at 6.30, saying ta ta to my odd friend, hauling my bags to the bus station, and sitting on a bus for 4 hours or so, i was surprised to be informed by the bus conductor that they werent going to stop ...
Introduction to Camping
... in the city we decided to head for Parque National Altos de Lircay- a lovely national park near to the entirely uneventful city of Talca. It was quite a mission to get there and we ended up joining forces with an American couple on bus to park. We arrived ...
Time out in Talca
... Patagonia--is that which is south of the Lakes regions, which are smack in the middle of both Argentina and Chile. These regions in both countries are filled with enormous snow-capped volcanos and deep lakes and lots of thermal waters in between ...
Heading South
... and pick us up, but there was no answer so in the end we had to get a taxi to the hotel, which cost 5 pounds (expensive for Chile!). We were very hungry when we arrived so we had to eat there, unfortunately it cost us 3 pounds for a sandwich. Well it was ...
Tongue action with a perky little chilean
... for the whole 6 hour journey. Still, it had a toilet, was pleasant enough and the scenery kept me occupied. When I got to Talca, I got a taxi to the hostel as it's on the outskirts. I hadn't printed the map off the internet but had scribbled it in my ...
Talca
... on down south to the lake district of Chile and possibly into Patagonia before crossing over the Andes into our final destination of Argentina. Talca looks a good bet and we ask Rene to book us a room at the Casa Cheuca hostel and we go off to book our ...
Day 223: Parque Nacional de Altos de Lircay
I wake at six and eat breakfast in the dark on the veranda. I've booked a taxi to Talca for the 7.15am rural bus to the National Park Altos de Lircay for an eight-hour hike. It's off-season; only two other hikers arrive with me this morning. But it's ...
Das wo mit dem Erdbeben
... genug von Staedten hatte, habe ich mich gegen Valparaiso entschieden und hatte mir in meinem Reisefuehrer die Region um Talca herausgesucht. Als das erste Hostal auf meine Anfrage antwortete, dass es immernoch wegen des Erdbebens geschlossen sei, ist mir ...
¿How much for the cowboy?
Talca is a good place to base yourself for the local national parks, vineyards and trips to the coast. My time was running out before returning to Santiago, and as there was an election on the Sunday, I didn´t want to be in any town. Not that in the ...
Day 222: Taxutal
... . A caffeine tint in the window glass gives the morning light a hint of dusk and adds to the autumnal hues. As I approach Talca, the trees bear red-blooming mistletoe like that ravished by possums in New Zealand. I've booked a hostel, Casa Chueca, out ...
Feliz Cumpleanos Jill
We left Santiago after lunch on Thursday (i think), catching a regional bus to Talca. We were on time until the bus blew a tyre. We were too slow when another bus pulled up offering passengers a ride. Everyone else got on, except us and some men who ...
Suicide is painless
Five hours in Talca just because some daft random decided to jump in front of our truck because yesterday's attempt to poison himself didn't work. And neither did this one, he only has a broken hip. Some people are just so ...
Talca (wine country)
We took the train to Talca - such beautiful countryside, especially as we started going past all the vineyards. Rocked up at our hostel and I think the 1st thing we both noticed when we walked into our room was that there was no air conditioning. ...
Talca - So cold!
This wasn´t my best move, took the bus to Talca, they only had expensive what they called a hostel but wasn´t, was like a hotel. But i felt ill so it was good, and I stayed in bed watching TV in an attempt to make myself feel better (which it ...
Chilean Wine Country
Wine tasting and wine drinking may yet redeem Chile. We´ll see... Chilean wine country is beautiful and the wines are decent. The "wine tasting" experience is not quite up to the standards elsewhere. For $25 per person, you can book ...
and they said it would never last.....
... are and I rather suspect that he doesn´t know either. To celebrate this landmark we jump on a very efficient Chilean train south to Talca. The difference between 1st and second class on the two and a half hour journey is about 2 pounds so as this is a ...
Valle de Maulle, One of Chile´s wine areas
... 23 - Talca Talca is in the heart of the Maule Valley wine region and is nestled up against the Andes. Actually, from everywhere in Chile one can see the Andes. We hopped off the bus, called the guesthouse, Casa Chueca, took a local bus, were taken out ...
Embracing the wine culture!!
... with how it is produced. With this in mind we headed to Talca, south of Santiago one of the major wine producing regions in Chile. Once there the options were to take a (fairly) expensive tour to some vineyards, or hop on a local bus and make our own ...
