chile, po

we be in chile! yeah, po.

so we had these high hopes of leaving the farm, heading north in argentina to a town called san martin and then crossing through the andes in a boat (yes, the same boat ride che graced many years ago). so after a few mishaps along the way, we finally found ourselves in san martin ready for our cruise. no dice. somehow everyone we met failed to mention the fact that the boat we wanted to take only set sail once a week and we weren´t stoked on the idea of chilling in san martin for many days soooo....back on the bus and over the mountains we went.
we crossed over the andes and into the chilean lake district. we were going off the advice of a nice American girl we had met on one of our bus rides and settled in a little outdoorsy town called pucon. the next day we headed for cañi ecological sanctuary (where the american was volunteering) outside of town where we hiked into the mountains and camped out for a few nights. it was absolutely gorgeous. i´ll let the pictures do the talking but it was pretty amazing. reminded me of never never land, complete with crazy lookin trees and mermaid lagoons.

the top pic is us on top of the mirador, just a half hour away from our camp. spectacular 360 view of the area where you can see THREE huge snow-capped volcanoes all in a row.

the middle is our camp a dawn.

the third, a nearby lake and the crazy trees.

in a couple hours we are jumping on an overnight bus to santiago!
