The time has come for the long-awaited run at the foot of the active Villarica volcano. I won a free ticket for this race at a competition in Valdivia.

Happy Halloween! Na habt ihr euch verkleidet, Süßigkeiten gesammelt und Kürbisse geschnitzt? Ich für meinen Teil male mich ja super gerne als Skelett an und gehe ein...

I can hardly believe it. I have already been in South America for a month.

Packed with wanderlust and still a little handicapped from yesterday's trip, we laced up our hiking boots and were already on the bus to Huerquehue National Park at half past 8.

Fortunately, we once again find very friendly Argentinians who take us back to Esquel from Los Alerces National Park and drop us off directly in front of our hostel. Hitchhiking...

The first night at the hostel was ok. I changed the mattress of the empty bed above me and slept well so far. After the journey, I was pretty tired. I woke up around 6:30 and...

After three beautiful days in Puerto Varas, I continue to Pucón, a popular holiday destination in the southern region of Chile. In the background stands the Villarrica Volcano,...

So I could stay here longer, but actually the 6 weeks of travel across South America are enough. I also have to work again and my family and friends are looking forward to a...

There are always new facets to discover in this city. Last night I visited a Peruvian restaurant. There are several of them on San Antonio Street, just around the corner. It...
