Travelogues Chile

The morning started with terrible coffee, but the lady of the house personally cooked eggs for me. It seems like she wants to save the reputation of the 'hotel'. So I set off to...

The morning stage was only 16 km, which I covered quickly and cheaply with a private driver arranged through an internet service. Valparaíso is great, but bustling and a bit...

After 2 nights in Santiago, I had to stay true to the motto of this blog and drive to the Pacific, a 2-hour bus ride. In Santiago this morning, the weather was mixed and it was...

With a mixed feelings (mainly Lisa), we start one of the most beautiful bus rides in the world at 9.45am. We are really looking forward to it, but we also have some respect for...

After the exciting tour through the salt flats, it was time to shower, do laundry, and chill in San Pedro de Atacama (and of course, enjoy coffee and cake 🤗). San Pedro is a...

25th - 27th May If you leave Santiago to explore the vibrant culture of the north, you will inevitably pass through the small coastal town of La Serena. For us, it was an...

I have seen some penguins on my journey, but they were not real penguins. They were always small and didn't look like what one imagines a penguin to be. But here in Tierra del...

Seen enough of the city. Steffi wanted to go to the sea. So we decided to rent a car and drive to Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Renting a car with 5 people is cheaper or at least...

12/07/2017 We will take the bus and a ferry to Achao. The journey takes about 1 hour. The scenery is beautiful. Church - very special Achao itself is very small,...

With very little sleep and a three-hour delay, we arrived in Santiago de Chile in the deep of night. After getting some rest, we explored the lively city center. After the calm...

Back to the beginning, or more specifically back to bird poop. Because now I started to believe that it brings good luck to be used as a toilet by a bird. We didn't plan much in...

The main reason why Isla Mocha has hardly been visited by tourists so far is that it is not easy to get to this island. The boat only sails in calm seas and little wind, and the...

Four days after departure and three flights, one bus and one car ride later, we arrived - at our first kite spot. It started in Frankfurt on a 34-hour journey to Santiago de...

Finally, we left the desert behind and arrived in the industrial port of Tocopilla in the evening. As the term industrial port suggests, this town was not really beautiful, so...

On the way from Cordoba to Mendoza, we noticed at a police checkpoint that our brakes were smelling. So we had to pull over again and assess the situation. Kai's diagnosis: the...

At 6 a.m., our bus left from Uyuni to Calama, from where we wanted to continue to San Pedro de Atacama. Until the Bolivian border, everything was uneventful. It was freezing...

From fruits and vegetables to meat

When angels travel, the sun shines! We marveled at the beautiful national park under perfect conditions.

After Iquique, we embark on a 23-hour bus journey to La Serena, another place in northern Chile on the coast. Upon arrival, we are completely exhausted from the ride to the...

The second day was also very relaxed and initially unspectacular, especially since the Golfo de Penas "Gulf of Sorrows" was as calm as it has not been in years, as the captain...

The city of Iquique is considered one of the most beautiful in Chile, which I can partly confirm. The main street, Calle Baquedano, is already spruced up with a tram and the...

Today, after a long trip through the Magellan Channel, we arrived in Punta Arenas at 6:00 a.m. We hadn't booked anything here because we weren't that interested in the offers,...

This was our next day at sea. We should now slowly immerse ourselves in the Chilean fjords. After a once again extensive breakfast and a visit to the fitness area, there was a...

Animated airplane

By the way we took off from Puerto Montt in bright sunshine. The sun had apparently decided to bid us farewell. The flight lasted just under two hours. The further south we flew...

Since our stay in Puerto Montt was unfortunately very short, we got up early to do something. It was raining again, the sky was completely covered with clouds and there was no...

Finally, the weekend for Franzi and the opportunity for her to show us something new. But we also wanted her to discover something new for herself. Cajón del Maipo was a sort of...

It should have started in the early morning (4:45 am wake-up; 5:30 am shuttle service) today, but is it even earlier? !!As we went to bed last night, I remembered that Karin and...

We spent the day together as a group of three. Franzi started her vacation today, and now our time together begins. First, we went to the bus stop, and the 502 bus was supposed...

After having breakfast, we went to the old town of La Serena. To our surprise, it was only two blocks away from our hotel. We strolled through the cute stands, drank freshly...
