Movement
As our time at NOLS was coming to a close, we made the decision to head back into Argentina for the last week and a half of our trip. We didn’t get to spend as much time on and around the Carretera Austral as we’d have liked to, but with an impending plane flight we […]
Altitude absence
The best thing to do when I’m missing the mountains is to pull out my sketch book.
NOLS Patagonia
Fast forward a few days of traveling and we found ourselves at the NOLS Patagonia branch in Coyhaique, Chile. For a sense of scale- Coyhaique is about 17 hours northwest of Chaltén, and probably that far south of Puerto Montt, the beginning of what is considered Chilean Patagonia. We arrived around 7pm to a birthday […]
Vida Patagonia
Soooo! We are playing catch-up again. My largest lesson from this trip so far has been the importance of un attachment. Plans change- and not just once, usually at least twice. We left Chiloé with the intention of going to another farm in the Lakes District and instead found ourselves on a plane to Patagonia […]
Ahuenco – part II
Our hike into the park allowed us a few wonderful days of rest. We filled our time with playing cards, exploring the beach, taking naps (my favorite), and eating. Our campsite was tucked in the trees, keeping us safe from the winds. We also make time to hang out with the locals. The amount of […]
Parque Ahuenco
Our work stay at Jeroen’s farm went from Monday to Friday. His farm has limited resources, so it is important for the wwoofers to go on an adventure for the weekend. Jeroen also works as an expedition to guide, so he isn’t here on the weekends. He graciously set us up with a 4 day […]
Dreams and Farming
Our lives have been moving rather quickly lately, so I want to take some time to speak on our experience at Alihuen in Chepu, Chiloé. We arrived on Monday, the 20th, for a two-week stay. Jeroen (the owner) is from Belgium and has been living in Chile for 9 years. His wife, Grecia, is from […]
Ancud
Writing makes me tired, so a picture synopsis of Ancud is best… Locals harvesting seaweed along the beach. Empanadas and rodeos. Hostel Mundo Nuevo. Local fish market.
Two Weeks Later…
I wrote a post about our Ancud experience, but wordpress wasn’t working and then we lost the internet for two lovely weeks! So here you are, penguins and rodeos, a few weeks later 🙂 Chiloé is turning out to be just as magical as we heard. Life is different here- people move at their own […]
