Travelogues Chile

Throughout the last two days I've literally taken hundreds of pictures. So choosing ten out of those doesn't nearly do justice to what I was blessed to see so they give you just...

Today we arrived in Punto Arenas, the city on the Magellan Strait discovered 500 years ago. This is where our journey to Antarctica started and later continued to Torres del...

My cold didn't allow for anything else today than to take a day off. After all, we have already had 3 weeks with many different activities behind us. There was always action...

Now we are cruising through the Chilean fjords towards Cape Horn. The weather is as expected in this region. On the Glacier Avenue, you can see five huge glaciers. Surely we...

Today I continued my journey - from Punta Arenas I took the bus to Puerto Natales, the closest city to Torres del Paine National Park. During the drive, I got closer and closer...

Huasco is completely non-touristic, but not particularly beautiful either. However, the town is located right on a huge bay and we are confident we can get on the water here. The...

Today we spent an entire day in Torres Del Paine National Park. Any comments on this are unnecessary.... Good Night!

After 110,000 km, in 4 1/2 years, the first real flat tire!

Chile is characterized by thermal springs and volcanoes.

1. People who are not from Latin America, have lighter skin and are not native Spanish speakers, are called Gringo/a by South Americans. However, the term is not derogatory and...

10.12. -13.12.2017 There is not much to say. But I took a few pictures.

After a wonderfully relaxing night in a very well-sprung bed, we went to the ninth floor for breakfast. We had a full day at sea ahead of us, as Puerto Montt was to be our first...

I was excited to go to the national park today, which is nearby. It is one of the oldest and perhaps one of the most beautiful in Chile. There are said to be the oldest trees in...

The rest of the day, after Franzi came home from work, we spent in the apartment with the joy of reunion and many shared experiences. Eating, drinking, and talking were not so...

Breakfast at sunrise, observing flamingos and vicuñas, admiring breathtaking landscapes!

Today we drove from Santiago to Chillan. A distance of about 400 km, heading south, towards one of our highlights, Tierra del Fuego. In the Catholic institution where we were...

Bus trip from Viña del Mar on the Chilean Pacific coast across the Andes to Mendoza in Argentina. Unfortunately, the upper panoramic window of our comfortable,...

The island of Chiloe with over 100 wooden churches is well worth seeing.

Not much to tell, we're going to the airport and flying to Santiago de Chile. A tiring flight, barely slept and upon arrival the super surprise. One suitcase did not arrive.🤮...

This was a night tour to observe the stars and gain a deeper understanding of astronomical patterns. I was amazed by the night sky :D

Santiago de Chile

Heute stoppten wir vor Kap Hoorn. Das Expeditionsteam hat überprüft, ob eine Anlandung mit den Schlauchbooten möglich ist. Leider hat das nicht geklappt. Der Wind war zwar okay,...

April 11-12, 2026 We explored the area around Pucón, which is also very beautiful; for example, there's the Villarica volcano, lovely nature with streams and waterfalls. However,...

Now we started packing! The last load of the washing machine dried quickly and we used the time to get our suitcases ready for travel again. With four travel items and a...

Hike to Refugio Quetrus

Am nächsten Morgens ging es dann mit dem Bus nach Puerto Natales. Kurz vor der Grenze nach Chile teilt uns der Busfahrer mit, dass keine Lebensmittel erlaubt seien. Wie trauen...

Lake Tagua Tagua was a nice day trip with, of course, much nature to be admired.....
