Hotel and Spa Araucarias Pucon

... that worked there. They loved us! We would make dinner in their nice kitchen then eat it out doors drinking a bottle of win then playing cards with some beer before going out. Then we would start to talk with the other guests and we made a really great friend named Evan who has traveled up and down the Americas. Living in Colorado for the North American summer Evan comes back for the South American summer. Ryan and I loved his stories and all his connections ...

... If you're caught you get a hefty fine and a slap on the wrists. Funnily there is no mention of drugs in there at all. I can only presume that's grand. A brief stopover and bus change in some town was only memorable for a rather odd incident from a Chilean couple who were laughing and joking at the bus station. Suddenly the guy gets up and runs off followed by the lady screaming after him ...

... Chile together. The heavy rains in Pucon added to my decision - it is said to rain a lot during the next few months. Thats even too much "fluid sunshine" for kayakers, though it reminded me a bit of our autumn-kayaking in the Ardeche-region with heavy rainfalls and lots of chestnuts - yummy!<br><br>So after some repacking in Antilco I spent a relaxing time at the fireplace listening to Jack ...

... sure what breed he is, but judging by his current size he is going to be huge! The main reason for coming to Pucon was to climb the active volcano, Villarica. It is a 5 hours ascent mainly over snow to reach the summit. It was a hard days walking but the views from the top are amazing. I would definitely put this in my top 10! As the volcano is active you can see puffs of smoke coming from the crater. Whilst we were up there we could smell the ...

The first trek kind of wiped us out so we needed a room for the night. We left Antuco heading a couple hours south. We stopped in the large city of Temuco, for a little look around. We are in the market for a heavier sleeping bag, so we w Decided to move on a little farther. Ended up in the town of Villarica, a small touristy town under a large volcano. Stayed at a very nice guesthouse run by ...

... Cependant, à cette saison, la neige est assez lourde et on a tendance à s'arrêter dès que la pente s'adoucit. Malgré cela, le retour prend quand même 2 fois moins de temps que l'aller! Nous arrivons en bas vers 15h00 et reprenons le mini-van en direction de Pucon. Le jour suivant, je me repose à l'hôtel. Je profite de l'occasion pour passer chez Edith, la coiffeuse du village qui me fait une coupe avec un look très sérieux. Peter, mon hôte hollandais, me conseille ...

... town of Osorno. As well as it`s name, it also shared similar qualities to the Bolivian town of Oruro, which, to say the least, was not our favourite part of the journey. Like in Oruro, the only good thing about our hostel was that was close to the bus station so that we could leave on the first bus to Pucon in the morning! The next day, after forcing down our breakfast of un-toasted, doughy muffins, we left for Pucon. Since arriving into Chile, the weather ...

... to take you to a quiet section of the river to practice paddling." "No rapids?" I asked with genuine disappointment. "I thought we would at least do a couple little ones today. Is there any way we could do some whitewater?" "Well, you seem to be controlling your kayak well - maybe we could skip to lesson 3 or 4 so you could get a taste of whitewater." "That sounds grand!" I said with enthusiastic ...

... so we were able to take that room, which saved another potentially long &amp; heavy walk!<br><br>The only problem was that for some reason it took them over an HOUR to clean the room (was it a crime scene or something?!)), so we had to sit in the lounge area and wait for the room to be made available, which was extremely boring. <br><br>Not what you need after 12+ hours on a bus, put ...
