... the many demonstrations that I had the opportunity to witness in Santiago, La Serena, and Antofagasta - from a safe distance. I say "had the opportunity" because the...

It's only spring here, but the temperatures are high! Right after waking up, I knew that today, on the last day, I'll just enjoy doing nothing, the sun in the shade, and the...

Even the Chileans were complaining!! I still took a short bus ride to Paihuano. But even in the shade, it was unbearable. Now, in the slightly cooler evening hours, hunger drove...

After having my first coffee, if you can even call it that, at 7:30 am in the 'City', I waited for the next shop for a proper coffee. While waiting for the machine to heat up, I...

Der Weg hat mich nun nach Pisco Elqui geführt. Der Ort soll ein ruhiges Refugium sein und das ist er auch. Es ist auch keine Ferienzeit in Chile! Besonders meine Unterkunft „El...

I had already decided yesterday to give the place another chance and simply walk the "main street" to the other side in the morning until the end. And behold, or rather "Ach,...

... why Vallenar is not found in any of my travel guides. There is nothing here. The long bus ride was quite exhausting. The short walk from the bus terminal to the hotel did me...

The travel guides are all right: 1. Get up early. The tour bus picked me up at exactly 5 o'clock, picked up some other tourists in town, and off we went up to 4300 meters. 2....

Today, I didn't do anything at all! Well, except... The tours here start very early or in the afternoon. Since I was still full of impressions from yesterday and a bit...

Today, I took the day easy. Breakfast at 8:30 am, which is lunchtime for you. I planned and booked my next trip out of boredom. At noon, I went into San Pedro, even though the...

San Pedro ist schon außergewöhnlich: Ein Dorf mit jede Menge Reisebüros, Restaurants und Läden für Touri-Schnickschnack in staubigen Straßen. Wie wird es so schön beschrieben:...

After another day of bus travel, I arrived safely in this town. While searching for my accommodation, I got lost with this damn heavy backpack. Now I know why I don't travel...

Here in Antofagasta there are few, but then really nice corners. The Plaza Colón is very nicely laid out: several water basins (the pigeons love to bathe in them, but then look...

Somehow I had La Serena over. No park was open, the city was particularly loud and hectic on Thursday. So I was glad to finally get on my bus and get comfortable for the night...

Today on my plan: The Faro Monumental beach with its namesake landmark, the lighthouse. With my luck (yesterday the Japanese garden was closed for maintenance), access is...

is actually a small pretty town. After the bustling days in Santiago and Valparaiso, I'm feeling a bit bored. The city gives me the impression of being in the off-season....

the sun behind ... Oh dear, now I have an earworm. Nothing happened today. Checked out after breakfast and went to the bus terminal. After 7.5 hours, I finally arrived here in...

'My' elevator

Today I had the Graffiti Street Art Tour on my agenda. Instead of the scheduled 2 hours, it turned into 3.5 hours and I could take a lot of photos. Valpo is colorful, loud,...

Pablo Neruda was right. I could have taken one of the many buses. However, I would have only been able to see many things in passing. It was extremely difficult to get to the...

18:15 (10:15 PM at your place). Just finished my dinner, sitting outside my accommodation 'Via Via' and enjoying a Lucky cigarette 🙂 And then I had the idea to show you my...

Yes, I know, it's actually called: Sun, beach and sea. I'm really good at making plans and then 1. it always turns out differently and 2. than I thought. But still, it works -...

By the way, I'm always on my way to do important things. This is not a problem at home, but here it is. Because when the 3rd stupid ATM refuses to finally spit out the pesos, you...

It sounds huge at first, but it wasn't. Since I'm an early riser and ended up in rush hour traffic again, it was great to enjoy the peace - even though this park is right in the...

Heute standen ein paar wichtige grundlegende Dinge auf der Liste: Karte für die Öffis, Geld und eine Internet-Prepaidkarte besorgen. Alles erledigt. Santiago ist ne richtige...

while smoking I saw an illuminated statue on a mountain and thought I'd check it out sometime. I actually had something else planned for today. And where do I end up? In the...

So ein Langstreckenflug kann ganz schön anstrengend sein. Hab ihn aber gut überstanden. Wie schon der Flughafen in Paris, ist der in Santiago auch echt riesig. Einfach den...

Ich kann es kaum glauben, aber heute ist es so weit. Mein Rucksack ist schon weg und ich vertreibe mir die Zeit am Flughafen, dauert noch ne Weile bis zum Boarding. Also mache...
