Another volcano
Pucon We had been tempted to simply skip Pucón. It is Chile's answer to Bariloche, and we thought we could do without that (even though I liked Bariloche). The main drawcard is the puffing Volcán Villarica, and a bunch of outdoor activities. But we felt that the volcano was unlikely to be as spectacular as Pacaya (Guatemala), and we had done quite …
Lake us up before we go go!
... two days, but it never got any less scary.
