First hike in South America - snowy mountain tops and cacti all in one go! Loved every minute of being there. Manquehue is essentially inside the city and is an easy place to go for a taste of freshRead more

Took a night bus down to Pucon and were greeted by this unreal-looking volcano. Somewhat nerve-wrackingly you can regularly see smoke from the top - but it's not erupted since 2015!

Arrived in Bariloche and it's beyond anything I had imagined! The lake is enormous and surrounded on all sides by pristine snow-capped peaks. I'm so excited to be spending the next few weeks here!

Walked up Cerro Otto post volunteering - so beautiful up there! Sadly the path to the lake Gutiérrez lookout was closed, but still some pretty incredible views back over Bariloche!

Beautiful hike out to Playa Muñoz, on the shores of Lago Gutierrez. A bit more than the "chill" walk I'd bargained for - and my ambitious plans of bike hire tomorrow are looking very unlikely... ButRead more
