Travelogues Chile

Today I didn't feel like doing anything. The intense heat and the gaps in my blog made me stay at home and work from home. Franziska and Karin wanted to stroll through...

Once around Easter Island by ship.

In the Collectivo we drive with warm breeze coming from outside to Mapocho, turn at the church and pass Artesano, where Enrique is already selling his peaches at the market....

Today is our last full day in Chile. We are certainly looking forward to not having to live out of a backpack anymore. However, we have grown to love Chile so much and we are...

'Hey, Frieda, you're German, right? Can you cook me currywurst?'

13.7.19 - 19.7.19 The city enchanted me because it is so artistic and colorful. On the streets, you can find great street art, street musicians, dance classes, and much more. I...

A week has passed and we haven't done anything except looking for gas and a workshop. Unfortunately, this is quite time-consuming in South America. Work is done from 9-12 and...

The Cristo Redentor is a bronze statue about six meters high, which was built to peacefully resolve the border conflict between Argentina and Chile. To get there, you have to...

21.11.- 25.11.2017 Iquique ist eine Stadt am Meer, umgeben von Bergen. Genau das, was ich zur Zeit suche. Die Innenstadt ist mehr als schön. Auch einen zollfreien "Markt" gibt...

The third day of our tour was very short. We visited two more lagoons and got closer to the Chilean border! The landscape here in the Eduardo Avaroa National Park looks like...

Autumn vibes in Chile! Our first stop in Chile was San Pedro de Atacama, a small oasis town in the Atacama Desert. There, we went on a bike tour, tried sandboarding, and...

We drove 432 km to Copiapo. Driving on the highway in Chile is quite expensive and you are often asked to pay. Overall, the price-performance ratio is not right in the whole...

We immediately flew to Santiago de Chile with LAN. The flight took about 2 hours. After arriving, our car was already waiting for us. We went straight to Valparaiso, where we...

The emerging fog in the morning, the deserted streets, and the booming honking of ships create a strange and almost eerie atmosphere. We are unsure if we are in the right place...

Welcome to Chile!

Joint mountain tour up the volcano, it was very steep in places! But it was worth it. The volcano had its last eruption to date in 2013!

Today the day started with an early rise. We should see the first glacier. The “Brujo Glacier” was announced for 7:30 a.m. Additionally, the front open deck should open at 7:15...

During the crossing to Tierra del Fuego we even saw a white dolphin, but we were too fast to take pictures! That's why we shot the fox at the ferry pier.

Today I woke up with the hope of finally getting the long-awaited sushi. My dreams were interrupted by the courtyard cat, who jumped on my bed and wanted to be cuddled. After...

Mirador Cerro de la Virgen

Today is our daughter's birthday. It's her 43rd birthday and our entire Chile trip planning has revolved around this date. Our initial plan was to visit Franziska over Christmas...

Today I decided to have a 'home office day'. The travel blog is falling behind! Karin is focused on her audio play and enjoys the wide view from the balcony. The city and the...

Puerto Montt - strongly influenced by Germans, Swiss, and Austrians

Day 1 in Chile

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was only able to spend one day in Valparaiso. But boy, was it worth it. It is a beautiful city that is home to one of the most important...

Santiago presents itself to us as a calm and modern, but also traditional city. There is little evidence of the intense protests against the government at the end of 2019 - many...

After crossing a relatively calm Drake Passage and the Strait of Magellan, we arrived in Punta Arenas today around 06:00 AM, the place where the extraordinary adventure started...

Today is our last day at sea. The journey took us across the Drake Passage (once again Drake Lake with waves of only about 4 meters) back to the coast of Argentina. We are...

After spending the whole day walking around on Saturday and the neighbors from the hostel had a party until early morning, there wasn't much sleep, only three hours. Since I...

We rode into the Valle de Elqui. Pablo and Barbara picked us up in Pisco Elqui at 2:30 PM. Their 2 children were with them, accompanying their parents on a ride for the first...
