Another visit to the Mercedes workshop. Pachyderms in the middle of the pedestrian zone, llamas checking tickets, pigs and cows eating algae on the beach, that is Valdivia

Unfortunately, Tierra del Fuego is heavily impacted by gas and oil production. If the field is exploited, everything just stays put! The main thing is that the oil flows!!!

After arriving in the intense heat of Santiago, we took a quiet day. Franziska was at work and we enjoyed her apartment. Karin visited the pool and I wrote. Around noon, we set...

The highlight today were these two cakes. I wanted to buy them when we were here for the first time. But the rest of the family had prevailed back then and opted for other...

In Pucón

Today we left Patagonia and flew 1,400 km as the crow flies to Puerto Montt. There we picked up the rental car and started the next leg of our journey. In the next few days, we...

Today we returned to Chile. On the way back, we wanted to spend our last pesos at the last gas station before the border. However, the gasoline was limited to 15 liters (1,000...

After spending 2 days in La Serena, exploring the city and the Valle de Elqui (a small valley surrounded by mountain chains), we continued our journey northward. For quite some...

This way we could admire the Torres del Paine (granite pillars), which have been declared a world wonder, from various angles.

08.04.26 This section between Puyuhuapi and Puerto Rio Tranquilo was so beautiful that it deserves its own post!

Way too many pictures, but the caves aren't bad. You can only get there by boat and of course it is very touristy!

Congratulations, sister! Today is our last day of driving in Chile. We just have to cover the remaining 800 km from Pucon to Chile to meet our friends. We've had enough of...

The headline says it all. We stayed inside the house and sat in front of the crackling fireplace. Everyone was happy, except Heike who was a little anxious. She had expected to...

After saying goodbye to all the animals, except Christian, we headed to our favorite accommodation in Pucon, Chile. But first, we had to cross the border again. When entering...

We didn't report yesterday how we (with Franziska's help) actually came to this place! So I already hinted that after the shared week with our daughter and the time with the...

The Tatio Geysers were amazing - although it was extremely cold in the morning and I was not dressed appropriately :D Situated in volcanic areas, geysers are formed when the...

My first stop in Patagonia was Punta Arenas, a nice town that serves as a hop off to different nature attractions. It's not too busy and even boasts a replica of Magellan's ship...

Now we only have one last chance to kite on the coast - Bahia Inglesa. The next day we rush directly there, as the place is not only known for its wind but also as a nice...

The next morning we continued on to Copiapo. We had found accommodation that sounded very promising. By the way, Antonio Banderas also stayed in this hotel during the filming of...

Santiago is a very European city, which is not surprising since most immigrants in Europe have their roots here. In terms of area, it is a typical South American metropolis with...

Chile is so long that it has to be divided into four parts in order to print the map.

Day 41 The connecting flight to Puerto Montt was reached without any problems and two hours later we were in Puerto Montt. Many people warned us about this city, saying it was...

Today we wanted to have a quiet day. Although you only sit in the bus during the tours and are hardly physically challenged, we were always somehow exhausted at the end! It...

We got up at 4:30 am to catch our 9:00 am flight. But we could have saved ourselves the early wake-up call. We arrived at the airport super punctual at 6:00 am, but it was...

La Isla de Chiloé fue una excursión de un día aceptable. Tuvimos la oportunidad de ver casas indígenas personalizadas y algunos edificios especiales en Castro, pero desde mi...

This day trip was fantastic. Both the waterfalls and the volcano are declared national parks and are therefore very well maintained to ensure enjoyment for future generations....
