4 intensive days in and around Pucón

This past weekend I went for 4 days and 3 nights alone in Pucón. But I was only a few minutes because the bus I met Tobi, a German who has been over 6 months traveling in South America. Together we are the campground and I told him about my plans for the day. In effect, we have then taken all together. has already
of the city you have a brilliant view of the volcano Vill Rica, the appetite for more:)

Also the campsite was very handsome:

The first day we are to the waterfall "El Claro "run. Usually done with a guided horseback ride, but I have preferred my own legs to use. So we had a lot more time at the waterfall itself and did not continue after 20 minutes as the guided tours.

On the second day we climbed the volcano Villarica. According to the guide is only with guided tour is rubbish, because even people without high tour are. But was still better that way, if you do not know the volcano and not all the equipment it has. As can give everyone else the clothes we are marching in unity yellow.

I was the only except the guides of their own on his clothes was familiar. I had to try it out my new purchases. Have also proved great. If you look at the horizon then also realizing that it was a bit steep but to assume from the pictures.

went up a huge and gusty wind making it difficult to stay on his feet. Which apparently far more than normal. While it was was partly cloudy but again and again to catch brilliant views of the city, the lake or the neighboring mountains.

After about 5 hours of climbing then the victory pose:

The descent was much faster, since there was a special protection for the backside and then it went into this "bobsled runs" back to the valley:

late in the evening we went to relax in the spa Los Pozones. Magnificent natural spas of rock (gravel) stones, wood, etc. are something like this it is no longer with us, right? The spas I know from home are all tiled like any pool that you just can not stop swimming. Pictures are like this unfortunately. (

The next day took it to the National Park Huerquehue, a name I even after 100 trials still can not properly pronounce the "Standard Tour" goes to 3 mountain lakes (3 Lagos) and back again to the entrance. We wanted to go but not necessarily, the park pass through until you get to the baths of San Sebastian. Here comes the road is snowed in the winter I was notified in advance. The thermal operator told me that the road is impassable, park rangers of the park ranger station to 2 calls and a lot of inquiries but have repeatedly asserted that the road was not passable because there still a lot of snow. Since I had read that sometimes we overdo it and are still dared go without permission. Honestly, it was snow. In a wooded area at the pass we had to walk an estimated 3 feet above 10cm gelatinous snow. * Gg * The road was so perfectly accessible. This information was a pure cheek! Normally, one makes the road in two days, but this is not necessary. We have made it very comfortable walking speed and pauses in 8.5 hours in a day from the park entrance to the spa. The park is beautiful and so were postcard-worthy photos like these:

The baths were still brilliant than the first because far fewer tourists. The camp, including spa use has cost us about 5 € / person. There was a large pool, one right on the river and some "individual" so to speak great baths:
had

The next day we returned to Pucon, because there is no public transport, there were three possibilities:

1. carpooling with other spa guests. (Not since none Ching went to Pucon)
   
2. 8.5 hours through the park back to the entrance or
3. allegedly 20km from the nearest village with bus

We have for 3rd decided and thought to make the 20km in 4 hours can be. Unfortunately, the lady has a bad feeling for distances. After 1 hour we saw a sign that there were still about 30km to the village. Overall, it was thus more than 35 km instead of the promised 20 km. Moreover, there was always up and down and there was far and no sign of civilization or cars. Fortunately there was enough water streams, unfortunately we had neither of our tablets to Wasserabtöten it had to and drink so reluctantly next to the cows water. But fortunately nothing happened! The sun was huge and I smeared myself in an hour. We thought that we get more comfortable and not another night in the wilderness will stay as the good Lord gave us * gg * but still heard, and sent over a car that we could also bring with me! Ingeniously us, the driver, an American Hostalbesitzerin also brought until after Pucon! She was English well, but extremely frightening as the crass American accent after 18 years in Chile is out to listen. I understood only half of what they said ... Ay dios! On the way we made a brief pit stop at this ingenious suspension bridge:

She was forever long and also very very high! Further more wobbly without end and max. 4 persons "authorized." have Back in Pucon We then 3rd Time this weekend and I am looking grilled to the bus Santiago. On the way there was to admire another Final Sunset:

Back in Santiago, I just got a huge first herpes on the lip. The impact comes from four hard days, lots of sun, cold nights in a sleeping bag so bad
Although this weekend was not really cold at night too (certainly> = +5 °), it has frozen me in spite of additional clothing. That made me tremble at the thought of Patagonia in December. Consequently Yesterday I bought a new down sleeping bag. Ingenious part! about 1kg weight, very small with the "comfort zone" to -9 °. Since down is bad washable I have not bought a 130g of silk sleeping bag liner in order to preserve the sleeping bag. In addition, the even a few degrees does well. (Reportedly, 5 ° C more) Was not cheap but at least 33% cheaper than in Germany.

Tonight it is now by air after the deserts of the North San Pedro de Atacama. My time in Santiago really is as good as over. Next week I am my last 3 days in Santiago: - / Too bad.
