Refugio Misterios de Elqui La Serena

... t stop us, and we set off in as little boat to the islands where we were lucky to see Dolphins. Sadly, none of them were jumping out the water (think even they realised it was too cold for that!) so have many piccies of fins!!! We did also see many penguins and sealions and also a couple of otters which are rare to see, we all seemed most excited by them which is mad as those we can see at home!!! The tour dragged on a little at ...

... included transportation and hot drinks. If you don´t speak Spanish, no prob because my friends really enjoyed going to Marmalluca.<br><br>This morning while finishing up breakfast at Rita´s and discussing beer brewed in Miluakee, Rita rshed me out the door to the colectivo taxi she somehow summoned to the house. I can´t lie, Rita does go the extra mile for her guests. Another "cozy" ride in a full colectivo and a ...

It´s actually raining in La Serena, in the winter, which from what I´m gathering is quite rare. It´s kinda yucky and very cloudy but it makes me feel at home. I´m quite used to cold, rainy days in NC.<br><br>I love the hostal here. It´s actually a guesthouse, Maria´s Casa, which is the home of Maria and her family that has guest rooms surrounding a backyard garden with orange and lemon trees. Maria is great, a classic mother hen type. She ...

... more than a poor man's Wellington (slightly biased view possibly) -- It's main attraction are the multi coloured houses perched on the side of steep hills, and the higher parts of the town (accessed by Ascendors - quite like Lisbon for anyone that's been there) are intriguing and pretty to walk around. Trouble is the lower parts are quite skanky and full of shady characters which kind of detracts from the whole ambience of the place. Still one ...

So, lange nciht mehr geschrieben, daher jetzt die news meiner Reise! Vom tiefen Sueden ging es schell per Flieger nach Santiago um von dort die Weiterreise Richtung Norden anzutreten. Erster Halt war La Serena, ein netter Kuestenort etwa 500km noerdlich von Santiago. und ENDLICH gab es auch Sonne! Wir haben den ersten Tag erstmal genutzt um etwas die Stadt und vor Allem den Strand zu erkunden. Am Abend haben wir eine Sternwarte ...

... mas cerca de Peru y Bolivia, nuestros proximos paises. Empezamos en San Martin de los Andes, ultima noche alla con parrillada de carne y buen vino del pais, asi recogiamos fuerzas para el largo camino adelante. Desde alla fuimos a Bariloche, una ciudad parecida, con un lago grande, pero antes paramos en el camino en Villa la Angostura, un pequeño pueblo donde uno se puede perder entre los bosques y lagos que lo rodean. En Bariloche nos deleitamos con el chocolate ...

... massive tent. I went with Mariela, Paulina, Rodrigo, Claudio, Gonzalo, Noler, Chino and Ro, but there were loads of more people we knew and we had a GREAT time. Of course the white, innocent tourist (me!) was used, along with her (mines!) to smuggle all our booze in, and it worked like a charm. All of us grouped together, dancing around the bag of booze in the middle, bending down if we wanted a sip, a bag filled with 1 liter of Rum, 2 liters of Pisco, some beers, Coca ...
