Fantastic day in Caburgua
16. januar 2018, Chile ⋅ ❄️ 0 °C
Through couchsurfing I met up with Natalia. She is from Santiago, but her family has a summer house in Caburgua, about 30 minutes from Concón.

We started the day in Ojos de Caburgua wich have waterfalls and pools in the forest. The scenery was absolutely beautiful! We walked around for a while and enjoyed the nature.

Later Natalia took me to her families summer house where I got to meet her parents, and we had lunch. Her mom is a lovely woman that tried to speak a bit english with me, and we practice together - my spanish and her english.

After lunch we spent hours at lake Caburgua - which after my opinion is much better than the lake and beach in Pucón. It was super clean with soft sand.

We had once (a small meal with tea that is normal to have during the day in Chile) at their summer house, and then went to one of the many termas (hot spring) in the area. Natalias mom joined us. It was really good to go to the termas at 8 when the sun started to go down. The termas is super hot, so it would have been no point going there in daytime, as the temperature is close to 30 degrees every day here now.

Both Natalia and her family is so amazing! This is so far the best day I have had in Chile.Les mer

Huerquehue National Park
17. januar 2018, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
It’s time to do some hiking :D Today me, Natalia and Pablo went hiking in Huerquehue National Park. The park is very green and beautiful with several lakes.

Let’s be honest: our shape could have been better 😂 But it was a good hike in beautiful surroundings.Les mer

Ops, that was a mistake!
20. januar 2018, Chile ⋅ 🌧 3 °C
Today I was going to take the bus to San Martin de los Andes with Natalia and her sister. We were going to stay there for two days and celebrate my birthday (tomorrow). Somehow I have managed to throw away my immigration papir ✌️ So no busride to Argentina for me. Instead I had to buy a new bus ticket for tomorrow and go to the PDI in Villarica to get a new immigration paper.

I guess back in Norway this would have made me crazy upset, but here I still don’t see any point in getting upset when things go wrong, it will not help the situation at all. So the plans changed, not the end of the world. Natalia and her sister went to San Martin, I went to Villarica 😂

Villarica es muy lindo, and I spent some hours there - treating myself with a good lunch with a beautiful view of the lake and the volcano.

I will spend one more night in Pucón, which mean one more morning to cuddle with my new best friend, Sofia the puppy 😍Les mer

Mi cumpleaños
21. januar 2018, Argentina ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
Today is my birthday, tengo veintisiete años! I spent some time in the morning videochatting with my two bestfriends back home.

12.15 I went with the bus from Pucòn to San Martín De Los Andes. I slept for big parts of the trips, which kind of sucks since the sceenery while crossing the Andes looked beautiful (in the few moments I managed to stay awake :p) I arrived at 19 i San Martin.

Natalia and Cathalina already went yesterday, and I was suppost to join them. I went straigth to the hostel (Puma hostel) and met up with them.

In night there was a party at the hostel, and we had dinner and spent time with others. Natalia and Cathalina had baught me cake with «fireworks» and got the whole hostel to sing the birthday song for me :)Les mer

San Martín de los Andes
22. januar 2018, Argentina ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
We decided to go to Bariloche with the bus at 14.00 today. Because I arrived last night, I really wanted to see some of San Martin before leaving. It is a really small town.

Me and Cathalina went for Mirador Bandurrias, a hike for about 45 minutes. The view from the lookout point was muy lindo. It reminded me of my hometown, Odda.

In the bus I slept a lot (again). Damn it, I should learn to stay awake more so I can enjoy the view. I got to do so for about 2 hours, and I loved it. A lot of clear blue lakes along the way 😍Les mer

Bariloche
23. januar 2018, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We arrived Bariloche last night and went out for a nice dinner with a lot of meat 👌 Beer, wine, meat and chocolate - welcome to Bariloche!

Today we went to Cascada de los Duendes and Mirador Lago Gutierrez, which was a nice little hike. The waterfall was very small, and honestly I did not find it that impressing. The mirador was bonito, but not as nice as the one in San Martin yesterday.

We went by cablecar to Cerro Otto which was amazing! Stunning view of the lakes and mountains of Bariloche. We had dinner in the spinning restaurant that offers a 360 degree from Cerro Otto. Loved it there!Les mer

Last day in Bariloche
24. januar 2018, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Tomorrow we will all leave Bariloche. Natalia and Catalina go back to Pucón, and I will move on to Villa La Angostura.

We decided to do the Circuito Chico with bus today. It didn’t work out the way we wanted, as the bus didn’t go the whole way around the circuito. We had to skip some things, but still had a nice day. The best part was going to Cerro Campanario, the view is absolutely stunning. We ended our tour in Colonia Suiza, where we had dinner and listened to live music.

At night we went to this populare brewery/restaurant two blocks from the hostel, Manush.

Note to self: Do not stay in Rodina hostel in Bariloche again - ever. Horrible!Les mer

Villa La Angostura
25. januar 2018, Argentina ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
I arrived in Villa La Angostura this morning. My two amigas left for Chile, and I decided that Bariloche was a bit hectic for the weekend. Villa La Angostura was the perfect choice! I stay in Italian Hostel, which is super cosy!

The other people in the hostel is Argentinian, which is great for practicing spanish. I find the prounounciation of Y and JJ here funny, they say «sh» instead. Playa is plasha ✌️

I’ve spent the day relaxing with people from the hostel, chatting and drinking wine.

«Mate» is by the way super big here. They pass it around in these funny old cups.Les mer

Parque Nacional Los Arrayanes

Today I have been hiking a beautiful national park here in Villa La Angostura. The roundtrip is 26 km, but I decided to take a boat one way, and hiked the 13 km back. It was lovely :)
