Travelogues Chile

In Cochrane, we almost give in when we are at the bus station with Steve (for some reason there is a whole new terminal for one bus a day, but well...) and buy a ticket for him....

Yeah! After having to skip a day thanks to too much Pisco Sour (devilish stuff but so tasty), I started early today. I'm walking to the bus station with Catarina from Italy and...

The holy evening after my little wellness tour I spend in the hostel. Everyone is cooking, grilling, baking, and I sit together with people from all over the world, enjoying the...

The journey to Chiloé, a 180km long and 50km wide island, begins with a 9-hour ferry ride from Chaitén to Puerto Montt. Sounds long, but it is (especially compared to bus rides)...

Wow! What a day!! I started around 11 am at the hostel and took the Metro to Barrio 'Yungay' in the west of the city. This neighborhood is by far the least touristy one I've...

Rome has 7 hills, so does Bamberg, but how many in Valparaiso? One source says 42! You don't have to know them all, but I am intrigued by the views. There are several funiculars...

We made it and arrived at Veronica and her husband's, the Pescador (fisher), place! The taxi driver actually knew them and took us to the mostly deserted bay in Pan de Azúcar...

This morning a gentle breeze blew through the rather upscale neighborhood of Las Condes where my hotel is located. Along the main street, there are stylish glass palaces of...

7th - 10th April The days on Chiloé had passed faster than expected and before we knew it, we were in the next city. Puerto Varas. Why exactly the small town with a population...

We went back to Chile. There we meet Alex again. Now his girlfriend Viktoria is also with us. We rented a car to explore "the end of the world".

My next destination is the second largest island in South America. I will take the bus to Chiloé on Monday. I have booked a hostel in Castro. The town is located in the middle of...

Government building in the city center

After leaving Santiago, I took an 11-hour bus ride south. My destination was Pucón, a small vacation spot. It is located directly below the most active volcano in South America....

The observant reader has of course long since noticed that our posts have "minimal" delays 😉. This post wants to counteract this. In San Predo de Atacama, we once again dealt...

Colorful city, dogs, cats & dogs.

To have an abundance of all - that is Marcelo's dream. But by that he doesn't mean the wealth of money or valuables. Because the people who are only rich in money are often the...

I have overcome the initial shock of the big city and now I am starting to discover the good sides of Santiago. Our apartment is small, but it has everything we need and a great...

Unfortunately, our South America adventure is coming to an end, so one last entry from the airport in Santiago. Before reaching our destination Santiago, we spent a few...

Tourist town San Pedro de Atacama

Arriving in San Pedro de Atacama, we take it easy on the first day and use the time to get a first feel for Chile. Conclusion: it's expensive here! The following day, we visit...

April 13-14, 2026 Next, we traveled to the surf spot Punta de Lobos and stayed in a small village. It was very quiet and relaxing. On the second afternoon, we went to the beach...

Not far from the capital Santiago, there are two cities that could hardly be more different from each other. They are Vina Del Mar and Valparaiso. The journey to these two cities...

Bariloche (ARG)- Futaleufu (Chile)

The day before, we had already decided to rent another or additional car in San Pedro in order to be able to do the planned tours for the next two days. Unfortunately, the next...

To get used to the altitude, it was necessary to sleep in and have a good breakfast first. The first stop for today was the "Valle de la Luna", a moon-like valley with different...

At 11 a.m. we had to check out of the hostel and passed the time until the bus left for Torres del Paine National Park with a walk and in a small café with delicious pastries. ...

At 7 o'clock sharp, the Uber driver was waiting in front of the hostel and reliably took us to the airport. Since we couldn't add checked baggage when booking the flight, we...

The first night in South America ended with a good ten hours of sleep. After breakfast in the guesthouse we went to the “San Cristobal” mountain. At the summit there is a...
