Apres une nouvelle nuit a Castro, je me leve de bon pied et part vers la gare routiere. J arrive 2 mon avant que le bus ne parte meme sans avoir checker les horaires et je suis partit faire la fin de la panamericaine highway. Elle s arrete en effet a Quellon au sud de l ile de Chiloe. Je viens ici pour prendre le ferry jusqu au continent a l est...

Days 4-7 - Our 4 day, 1500km voyage through the Patagonian channels on a Navimag Cargo Ship oops Cruise Liner!!! Amazingly we awoke to abit of blue sky, wahoo, maybe we would actually see something on our voyage....we will see! Laden with 30 kilos each plus an additional 13 litres of wine, beer and water, we slowly walked down to the port, to sa...

The small town of Pucon was my next destination in Chile and Pucon I can tell you is pronounced with a hard C and not a soft one as I found out after spending 10 minutes explaining our destination incorrectly at the bus ticket terminal. Pucon is a really beautiful little town with all the buildings carrying wooden sections on the outside to give...

Got to Castro with the intention of heading off to Chonchi, a smaller town about an hour south of the capital of Chiloe. However, that did not happen. (If you have been reading my latest blog entries, you might be thinking {¨of course!¨) The bus got to Castro at about 11, and it didn't take long to realize that we were in the middle of a citywid...

Finally on terra firma after the Navimag experience, we hired a car with new Aussie mates Bec and Evan and headed to the Islands of Chiloe. It being an island and all, meant another ferry! Happily this one took all of 20 minutes so my sickness episode was left at sea. Chiloe was for me reminiscent of Uruguay in terms of its status as a tourist ...

Another challenging day lay ahead - culture and trekking! We started with the local museo in Chonchi - Museo de las Tradiciones Chonchinas. What looks like a house falling to pieces from outside is probably the most interesting museum up to now (with exception of the Santiago History Museum). It is basically a 19th century house which has been m...

Chiloe is a wet misty place with the smell of steamy sea food in the air. Their are no large mountains here so it is quite flat with farmland and rundown weathered homes dotting the countryside with natures beauty as a backdrop. In Quellon we arranged for our sailing on the ferry to the mainland (a 5 hour trip). The ferry only sails two days a w...

Alex: We left Chaiten hoping to make it to Castro which has good links with Puerto Montt, and we did. We didn't see much of the ferry ride across the strait opting to stay in the warmth instead and arrived in Quellon just in time to get a bus to Castro. The ride through the island was, once again, beautiful but very different from the landscape ...
