From El Bolson to Chile

What a difference a few hippies can make ( we know that from our hometown Nevada City)....in the 1970s a bunch of hippies moved to El Bolson in the argentine Andes and we still feel such a nice vibe throughout town . Organic veggies (Susanne had the biggest smile) , cafes,breweries and an artesian Market with home made handycrafts , jams, foods and cloth.
Up above town ,where a fire had destroyed the forest, artist made a sculpture forest out of the burned stumps. What a little vision and creativity can do!
From there on our way back to Chile , we find great campgrounds at one of the lakes and in a working vinyard and winery. Back in Chile we finally hit the Careterra Austral, the 1240km long highway that runs through the remote Panagonia region . We see more bicyclists then cars and thanks to the heavy rain that started , the many non paved areas of the Careterra got the dust under control.
In the small town of Puyuhuapi, we see signs for Tsunami warning and realize the big lake is actually a fjord connected to the Pacific .Read more
