A Bum Deal
... cheeky guide became his witness saying that he had seen me do it - the rotter! Our brief stay in lovely sunny and cute Pucon, a wooden village of only 7,000 by a gorgeous lake is coming to a close. We take an overnight bus to Santiago tonight with a ...
I may be gone for some time....
... never enjoyed hot chocolate before and still felt impressed by our morning's achievement. That afternoon we did very little, wandered around Pucon (very wooden in an alpine village kind of way), sat by the lake, talked and laughed and admired the ...
Ahhhh, a beach - sort of
... in Valdivia a bit longer but Pucon is their next destination and I will probably meet up with them there. When I arrive to Pucon I feel awful and I am dead tired and I sort of look like Gary Busey after a 48 hour bender. I haphazardly ...
Chile has redeemed itself
Pucon has turned out to be a massive breath of fresh air. Chile has finally redeemed itself. This place is stunning, with a huge Volcano called 'Villarrica' dominating the area. Its 2840 meters high and towers over the small town, which it destroyed in ...
A chegada
... havia ninguem pra me atender e quase ninguem na rua. Um dos cachorros que fica no meio da rua (isso acontece muito em todo o Chile), ficou me seguindo por 1 hora. Era um pastor alemao imenso, rs. Depois de muito esperar, conversar com o pessoal dos ...
Ein Heim am See
Von Puerto Saavedra ging's weiter in Richtung Pucon, besser gesagt in den Nationalpark Huerquehue. Hier schlugen wir unsere Zelte direkt am Ufer des Caburgua auf und damit mit Sicht auf ein wundervolles Panorama. Abends angekommen, entschieden wir uns, am ...
In Ben's Own Words
... , Peru: Bought art from Waly. Lima seems depressed. Drinkable water. Lost watch. Santiago, Chile: Clean toilets at bus station. Beautiful city. Had a barbeque. Pucon: Drank wine. Bought sweaters. Hiked volcano. Did some other stuff. Re-discovered ...
Patagonia again!
... was the best hostel I have stayed at so far. It has more of a cabin feel and a great view of the active volcano in Pucon, Villarrica. I had a very friendly girl from New York staying in my room with me. Camilla and I hit it off instantly, so it was nice ...
We climbed a Volcano yesterday :o)
The snow covered, cone shaped, Volcano was a fantastic climb…2,800mtrs high with views to die for and several other volcano's to view on the horizon. We set off with crampons packed, ice axes lodged in our back packs, gaiters on, waterproofs at the ...
Putting the Poo into Pucon
... paper in the loos but to use the bins provided is well founded. Matt hadn't been following this advice ever since entering Chile, but this was the first occasion that a poor toilet had to suffer his sustained abuse... Feeling guilty he ripped off a ...
Pucón
... de wekker... Om 6u zaten we dan aan het ontbijt om even later opgehaald te worden. Tot zover de goede voorbereiding.. ·Pucon is the adventure capital of Chile en dat is dan ook heel erg merkbaar; op elke hoek van de straat en aan de rand van het ...
To answer Rhys' rhetorical question...
... , as all of you are gripped so much by our travels you don't need Hopkin ratcheting up the suspense. Anyways, we arrived in Pucon delightfully late, around 11.30, after a couple of bus journeys in which I think I read about the English aristocracy and ...
Not So Chile
Across the border and into Chile, the little town of Pucon sits in the midst of the massive Villarrica Volcano. Similar to Bariloche in Argentina, it feels very much like an Alpine resort. We had the luxury of staying at a newish hostel where the owner ...
I love this place!
... the mocha lattes or hot springs, or a mixture of the two! After another overnight bus from Santiago we arrived into Pucon with excellent views of the volcano. After lunch (and the first fabulous mocha latte) the views of the volcano were gone ...
Enjoying the white stuff!!!
Arrived in Pucon in a bit of a strange mood, so had a lazy day on the beach and then impulse booked a ticket to climb a volcano!!!! The hostel walls were very thin so I was regretting the 6.30am start when the alarm clock went off. ...
The long and winding road to Pucon
... businessman named Carlos Cardoen Cornejo. His some of his business however, was quite dodgy, so he's now not allowed outside of Chile. However, he's very popular with Chileans, and has put a lot of money into the town of Santa Cruz, especially after ...
not quite the depths but the shallows of patagonia
Having failed to make it south in Argentina, our first 'adventure' in Chile was southbound - after staying with Pedro and Ana maria (and their dog and their parrot who can speak more spanish than I can) in Santiago for a few days we boarded a ...
Hotel Antumalal
... hint of the prevailing climate) and huge picture windows overlooking a very English looking garden and the lake. The town of Pucon was a complete surprise. It is very upscale and looks like somewhere from Napa Valley. It is a vacation destination for ...

... trip so far. after a nice coupla days in san martin de los andes in argentina we took the bus over the border to pucon in chile. the bus ride itself was stunning, passing huge snow covered volcan lanin (incidently wat us retards had payed 10 quid to take ...
The volcano is SMOKING!
... with the most comfortable beds in the world, though being next to the latest opening bar probably counteracts that benefit! Pucon is the Queensland of Chile. if you want to white water raft, swing through trees or climb a 2840m active volcano then its ...
Lakes and Volcanoes
... En attendant notre bus pour Pucon, on essayait de voir a quelle page du journal les gens en etait, mais personne ne nous a reconnus... Pucon, au bord du lac Villarica et non loin du volcan du meme nom, est une ville encore plus petite que Temuco, mais ...
Volcano boarding!!!!!!
... Santiago behind on a night bus to Pucon. Ten hours later at 8am we found ourselves in the beautifully spectacular snow village of Pucon. We went and checked ourselves into our Hostel and fell asleep until around 1pm. We must have been tired. When we ...
Seengebiet und Vulkane / Lakes and Vulcanoes
Pucon Wenn Bariloche (siehe uebernaechster Eintrag) das Kitzbuehl von Argentinien ist, ist Pucon das St. Johann ('Seini Hauns') von Chile, nur dass neben Bergen auch kegelfoermige, rauchende, schneebedeckte Vulkane die Landschaft praegen. Pucon ...
I did Patagonia !
... still open J. So, I then passed around 4 hours at the bus station thinking where will I go? Finally, I decided, let’s go to Pucon. But I have like another 5 hours to wait. What can I do? Ooo there is a park with many museums around the corner. So I ...
Travelling to Pucón
... a town where the wealthier Argentines visit and own some posh residences. We came here for the specific reason of catching a bus to Pucón, Chile. We figured that we wouldn´t be able to get a bus the same day, but would most likely find one the next. ...
Hot springs not what we expected
... We climbed over the fence and checked out the property. Termas de Panqui was listed as one of the top 5 hot springs in the Chile Lonely Planet guidebook. They've got to be kidding! I thought. There were a few cement filled round pools but the water ...
Volcanoes, biking, rafting the Lake District
... and really not fun but it improved and then just got better and better with some great views and finishing at a lake similar to Pucon, but better sand. It was strange seeing lots of women by the side of the road selling cakes and local drinks like the ...
