Pucon, what a place. Its a small town, with this great big, active volcano looking down on it. Loads to do here. We climbed the volcano, and smelt the sulpher at the top - like very strong eggs! Then the only way down was to slide down on our bums! Excellent fun. We did some walking, and some cycling, lay in natural hot springs at night, watching the moon, stars and planets - absoluletly bliss. Now we are heading north through Chile up to Santiago, then not...

Advancing Glaciers in the Parque Nacional Los Glaciers! We have never been so in awe of anything in nature as we were when we saw a 60m high pillar of ice slough from a 2km x 30km glacier into icy waters, only to be rewarded 60 seconds later with a submarine sized crystal blue iceburg leaping back out of the water! wow the town is ok. but built around ice. good for horse riding and trekking. off to catch a boat through the chillean fjords for 4 days. ...

WOW! We love it here. The weather is clear, if not a bit cold. The backdrops are amazing The colour of the trees vivid yellow against the bright blue sky! Fantastic area for hiking and biking. Really good atmosphere, and cheap accomodation, although the first night without blankets was a mistake as it was 0 outside and 7 in the room.....brrrrr Spent a few days here and then on even further south to El Calafate to see an advancing glacier! Love B & Z

From the French Buenos Aires to the Swiss Bariloche! Didn't spend long here - mucho costo!! Stayed one night in a hostel and met some cool people.. Scenery is amazing here! A huge lake with a backdrop of snow capped mountains!....brrrrrr! Moving on to El Bolson , 180km south. Mucho lovo...b&z xx

After an 18 hour bus journey, we are so much more relaxed and chilled out than in Brazil.. the heat is alot easier to handle, and I have found my health food shops and fruit stores. Even managed to fit in 2 museums ( the national history and musesum of modern art - v. strange) on the first day. Looking forward to spending more time here. Love ben and zoe xx
