Travelogues Araucanía Region

Long time no see - you may be wondering why we haven't written a blog post since our hike on the O-Track. The answer is that on any long journey, there are unforeseen and...

Wednesday, 12.02.2020 A few days ago, I tried out the 'Public Trip' feature on Couchsurfing for the first time, where I made my days in Pucón public and gave others the...

Melipeuco - and in the end, everything will be fine!

A quick return to Chillan, then I explore the area around Pucón

We traveled to Puerto Varas and then to Pucon, the city at the foot of Villaricas, an active volcano. We wanted to climb it because supposedly you can see the lava inside from...

On Saturday morning, I arrive in Pucon by bus. My hostel is a bit outside of the hustle and bustle, but still central and with a view of the Villarica volcano from the garden...

We had heard that Pucon is very touristy and not authentic at all. That's true. But after many days in the countryside, we were in the mood for good bread, a hot shower,...

After my first internship, I moved directly to Pucón via Santiago. The bus ride took about 10 hours until I arrived on January 29th around 8 am. At the hostel, the first...

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.

After some time has passed, we are here again to report on our "school week." To further improve our language skills for the next two months, we chose the small town of Pucón...

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.

Day 1 Pucón - Hiking in 'El Cani' 13 km, 1400 meters of altitude

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,...

Villarrica is the most active volcano in all of South America, about 2800m high! You can see the smoke rising from below. The volcano is not closed off, so if you're lucky, you...

It's Sunday now, Marte and I are a bit sad that we have to leave already.

Marte and I are taking advantage of the days off to spontaneously go to Pucón. This city is a MUST for all active backpackers.

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...

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...

We spent almost a week in a mountainous area called Araucanía, as Simon mentioned before. From Victoria to Curacautín, we went further and further into the mountains towards...

Pucon - Forest, waterfalls, raging river

Although I only stayed there for a few days, I can say that Pucón has become my favorite city. Very few small towns have the diversity that Pucón has. On one hand, there are a...

27.12. One last time petting cats, fixing Amelia's mat that they slit, having a coffee, and off to Puesco for hiking. Oh, it's Monday and the national park is closed. So, we...

I wake up in my cozy little room in the hostel, the sun is even shining!

After a 12-hour bus ride in a really comfortable bus, I arrived in Pucon and went straight to the hostel. 'French Andes Hostel'. As it turned out, there are actually only French...

On Monday we arrived in Pucón and stayed until Thursday. From there we took a bus to Puerto Varas in the morning. When we arrived in Pucón, I had almost forgotten that we are in...

Our main goal in Pucón was to climb the Villarrica Volcano. The Mapuche people also call the volcano "Ruca Pillan", which means House of the Great Spirits. Our tour started at 6...

21.12. Our journey takes us to Conguillio National Park today. We have a reservation and we are proud that everything should work out as we wish. At the entrance, the ranger...

From Puerto Natales, I took a bus to Punta Arenas and then a plane to Puerto Montt. Puerto Montt itself was not beautiful at all, but in the surrounding area, you can take tours...

Finally, a proper round of driving! - We rented our 'Chlapf' for something, so I was really looking forward to this round tour. Driving on gravel and dirt roads through...
