• Villa O’Higgins to the Marble Caves

    February 12, 2025 in Chile ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    This week has been a bit slower than normal because the weather has been pure rain. After getting into Villa O'Higgins we wound up getting a bit stuck there🤷‍♂️ Our camp host told us there was a bus on Saturday, there wasn't, and the bus for Sunday was sold out (we got in on Thursday). So, once again we were hitchhiking.

    A nice family offered for us to get into the back of their pickup truck and we did. Well, it almost instantly started downpouring and was one of the longest 100 kilometers of our lives😂 Also, pretty sure our driver had aspirations for the Indy 500, oh, and this is all on a dirt road with tons of potholes.

    We got rained out on a hike we wanted to do, we wouldn't have seen anything, but did get to take a boat and see the Marble Caves. Really pretty and the weather actually cooperated. We are now headed towards a ferry that will take us to this beautiful island, still Patagonia weather, not the tropics just yet, where we can hopefully see some penguins. We really are trying to stop hitchhiking:)
