Final Travel Day
Wow. The title really does say it all… Today is the day. Our World Cup trip is coming to a close and we don’t know how to feel about that. It’s time to go back to “reality,” but before that we have quite the “day” lined up ahead of us. So, we should start! So…

Santiago – Day 3
If you have been following along, you know that we went to the General Cemetery yesterday and that that was quite a long post. However… even with all the information we gave you we apparently missed quite a bit of things in there. So? That means we go back with some locals to help us…

Santiago – Day 2
We get up and aren’t 100% sure what to do today… So, we do what we always do when we’re not sure what to do; we go for a walk! As you are probably now tired of, walking around in Chile usually leads to seeing A LOT of public art. So, here you go. Although…

Santiago (Chile) – Day 1
Just to warn you before you start reading this post and expecting too much… we didn’t do anything today. We literally just walked around the city enjoying the sights. As you may expect from our other posts in Chile, this means that we saw and photographed a lot of public art. We will show some…

Viña del Mar – Day 4
Well, today is our last day in Viña, so we should make the most of it. How? By leaving Concon quickly and heading towards Viña. We leave, take the bus (without going up the dune), and head towards Viña. We quickly arrive to the shopping centre where we get off and start walking. Since we…

Viña del Mar – Day 3
Well… if we wake up in Concon you better believe that we will show off the sand dune, haha. Hopefully you don’t get tired of looking at it! [Update from 2024: the sand dunes are now closed and you are not allowed to enter the ecosystem as it recovers from so many visitors]. We again…

Viña del Mar – Day 2
So the title says Viña del Mar… but like we said yesterday we are actually in Concon. This region has many little cities that are pretty much continuous without any real breaks between them. For example, yesterday we went from Valparaiso to Viña del Mar to Reñaca to Concon without even noticing, haha. But, that…

Viña del Mar (Chile) – Day 1
If you have been following along, you know that we just arrived in Viña del Mar (aka Viña) this morning after an all night bus ride. We should try to rest… but you know that my travel partner is incapable of that. And, on top of that, it is early in the morning and no…

Villarrica – Final Day
Well… the title says it all, today is out last day in Villarrica, and also our last day in southern Chile. Since it’s the last day, we decided to not do too much. We start the day by going downtown and checking out the little stalls that have little artisanal things for sale. It’s similar…

Panguipulli to Villarrica
Well, let’s finish off our “tour” around southern Chile with a final day around Panguipulli. We wake up, get ready, and leave our things behind at our campsite. We need to figure out how to actually leave Panguipulli. We got off of the bus at the main square, but we haven’t really noticed any busses…
