- Santiago - our introduction to South AmericaWell, crossing the International date line did exactly what we expected, we didn’t know what day it was! The flights weren’t actually to too bad, we managed to get emergency exit row seats on the 11 hour flight to Santiago Posted by Graham_B in Lisa and Graham's RTW Adventure | Mar 25, 2011
- Farewell Chile and ArgentinaIt is difficult to believe that our South American adventure has come to an end. We came here to "see the country" thinking that we would probably never return. Now that we have been here, we would Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 25, 2011
- Cycling the Chilean coastWe have been without Internet access since March 17 and so I am woefully behind in my entries to the blog. We are now in Santiago and return to Canada tomorrow night so we have to put together a Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 25, 2011
- Lost & FoundCurrently sitting bitch in the middle row of a minibus careening around hairpin turns in the Andes mountains after an especially irritating 2+ hour Chile-Argentina border crossing. Equally irritating is the Latin pop music video blaring in my face Posted by KatieH623 in Adventures with Katie | Mar 24, 2011
- Sunshine and blue skiesSunshine and blue skies are back. The weather promises to stay that way for the rest of the tour. Wednesday was our loop tour from Santa Cruz through the Colchagua Valley (Chile's “Napa Valley”) and in particular to the Apalta area Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 24, 2011
- CoyhaiqueYesterday I took a mini-bus for 12 hours along 400km of the Carretera Austral. In those 12 hours we only passed 3 towns, but we did take one ferry ride on the ocean where road repairs were being made. I Posted by ichbinmatt in Miri and Matt Make a World Trip | Mar 21, 2011
- Feast for your eyes!Gini - I'm so sorry for the lack of blogging, the week has been sooooo hectic with family BBQ's and drinking outings (poor poor us).

- FutaleufuI caught the twice weekly bus to go over the pass from Esquel, Argentina to Futaleufu, Chile. The border crossing was once again easy and uneventful, apart from my honey being confiscated. I was the only non-Chilean-Argintine on the bus, Posted by ichbinmatt in Miri and Matt Make a World Trip | Mar 19, 2011
- 61 dollars later we have entered ChileJack- As we began to descend towards Santiago airport, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge mountains on both sides of the plane. I'd never seen anything like it! Next was the immigration check, and the form Posted by jackngini in Jack and Gini's Excellent Adventure | Mar 18, 2011

- Back on the BikesOn Sunday we flew from Rapa Nui back to Santiago and met up with our new cycling companions for the “Cycling Chile's Wine Country” tour. We are a very small group; 6 in total. The other two couples Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 15, 2011
- The Middle of Nowhere Easter Island/Isla de Pascu/Rapa Nui – regardless of the name it goes by – is arguably the remotest inhabited island in the world. Lying 2086 kilometres away from its nearest inhabited neighbour, it is triangular in shape – 24.5 Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 14, 2011
- Chiloé - one more thingFor our first day of biking on Chiloé, we cycled 6o kilometres out to Chiloé National Park, bordering the Pacific. What is unique about this area is that during the last glacial period, it was not covered by ice. As Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 12, 2011
- Chiloé, an island all its own We have now spent 3 days on Chiloé, an island off the south west coast of Chile. This island is 250 kilometres in length, 80 kilometres wide (at its widest) and because of both history and geography, it Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 8, 2011

- Villarrica TraverseI´m back from a 50 mile (80 km) hike through Villarrica National Park. The park is named for Volcan Villarrica, which is contantly puffing out smoke, just like I pictured volcanos as a kid. The hike does a half circuit Posted by ichbinmatt in Miri and Matt Make a World Trip | Mar 6, 2011
- Up front and personalFor most of our cycling trip, volcanoes have been part of the backdrop. Today, three volcanoes, and it particular the Orsono volcano, were (depending which way you looked) front and centre.

- Rain and relaxationDAYS 4 and 5 Yesterday we awoke to torrential rain and significant wind - described by our ever optimistic tour leader as "big drips". We wisely waited until about 10:30 when the rain had stopped to venture forth. The ride Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 3, 2011

I hiked for 3 days around Huerquehue National Park, which is in the foothills of the Andes and includes many lakes perfectly suited for swimming. There are also Posted by ichbinmatt in Miri and Matt Make a World Trip | Mar 2, 2011
- Volcanoes and CowsDAY 3 It was a kinder gentler ride today - sort of. The road from Villa La Angostura to Puerto Octay (at least the portion we cycled) had some straight, only slightly inclined roads. It also had some "gently rolling" Posted by Ramblingon in Changing Gears and other Adventures | Mar 1, 2011
