We left Puerto Varas for Pucon expecting lots of adventure, as we'd heard it was THE place for extreme sports in S. America. As soon as we arrived we were bombarded with choices of activities and we decided on; volcano climbing for Christmas Eve, hydrospeeding for Christmas day and canyoning for boxing day. Christmas Eve: We set off at around 6:30 am to begin our climb up Volcano Villarica. We got the chairlift up for the first 200m and then we had 1000m ascen...

Before arriving in Puerto Varas, we spent 36 hours on a bus. This 36 hours is a time that we do not wish to recount so we will just say two words: soul destroying. So, we were very relieved to get here. It's a town in the lake district of Chile and overlooks a lake with views of Volcan Osorno- really pretty. We had 3 days here and we just wanted to relax and recharge our batteries, so for 2 days we did very little; we read, walked along the lake and ate ice crea...

IT DIDN'T, the guide said that this is the worst weather he has seen in a long while, with rain and very strong winds that made kayaking almost imposssible, instead of kayaking around the glaciers we instead did a hike to get close to it and take some pictures but even that was a mis...

We arrived here on the bus, quite a quick journey, nothing to really talk about, the hostel we stayed in was really nice and we booked a tour to go kayaking around glaciers in the grey lake which is in the national park called Torres Del Paine, we are also planning to do a hike in the national park, to the mirrador Del Torres, to see the towers. Once we got back from the park we stayed in another hostel which can only be described as grandmas house. Its an old h...

We flew the 3000 miles from Santiago to the bottom of a Chile- Punta Arenas. The view from the air was amazing. Just snow capped mountain after snow capped mountain. We found our hostel and just chilled for the rest of the day. The next day was when the exciting stuff was going to happen. PENGUINS! In the morning we boarded a boat to go to Magdalen island, which is home to 69,000 Magdelen penguins. We were allowed one hour to walk around the island. It was am...
