The first national park: Pumalin

The park is a former nature conservation project of the millionaire Douglas Tompkins, so it was founded and financed privately. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumalín-Park

The Carratera Austral really begins with the drive through the park. A gravel road, black like the lava from the surrounding volcanoes, speeds between 20 and 50 km/h. A detour to the beach in Santa Barbara and the snack bus from natour.cl - just nice. With a waitress from Germany 😀 the woman is traveling around the world, has just stayed there for a few weeks and sweetens our day with homemade ice cream 🍧 what more could Sandra want 🍀 the first Completo, a hot dog with everything the kitchen can provide also not missing. And then there's the black volcanic beach - we're there!
