21. Temuco

Blog entries, Locations
Where we had to drop the tourist attractions of Temuco on our first day, because of changes in our program, due to further changes we suddenly find ourselves with time on our hands, and a full day in Temuco for the things listed in my guide book. Worthwhile here are the regional museum, with its [...]

20. Carahue

Blog entries, Locations
We had no intention to stop in Carahue, just a small town in between the coast and our end destination, Temuco. But upon entering town we are confronted with the railway museum, always a reason to have a quick look. And indeed, some old trains – steam engines and carriages – have been parked on [...]

19. the Auracania Coast

Blog entries
We need to get back to Temuco, to return our rented car. But rather than going in a direct line, Ruta Panamericana further north, we decide to detour in the direction of the coast, which we reach at Mehuin, a small fishing village just south of the provincial border of Auracania – the province of [...]

18. Osorno, the town

Blog entries, Locations
Some 100 kilometres away from the volcano is the town of Osorno. There is no real, touristic reason to stop here, but the weather is miserable, not inviting for a drive through the country side, as any lakes and volcanos will not be very photogenic on a day as today. So we decide to spent [...]

17. Puerto Varas

Blog entries, Locations
Had the weather been better, we would have reconnected with Volcan Osorno, on the other side of the lake from Puerto Varas, Lago Llanquihue. But the peak remains obscured in the clouds, this time. Puerto Varas is a small town, its lake side quite touristic, with a small beach, kayaks for rent and several bars [...]

15. Contao and the Coast

Blog entries
Those locals who claim that, if it rains, it only rains briefly, were wrong. The next two days it continues to rain, incessantly. We make our way back, up north along the Carretera, back to Puyuhuapi, back to Chaiten, and back onto the ferry to Hornopiren. Glad we have seen this stretch of the road [...]

14. Coyhaique

Blog entries, Locations
If you think this entry is going to be about the town of Coyhaique, the furthest south we get on the Carrera Austral, you are mistaken. There is really not much to write about Coyhaique, except that it’s only tourist attraction is a monument to the sheep herder, and that it has – confusingly – [...]

13. the San Rafael glacier

Blog entries
From Puerto Chacabuco one can book a boat tour to the San Rafael Lake and Glacier, a full day affair. We are a bit uncertain about the idea, because the tour is not cheap, and there is no refund should the trip be cancelled. The weather forecast is 100% rain. But then, when else do [...]

12. Puerto Chacabuco

Blog entries, Locations
We continue to Puerto Chacabuco. The mountain scenery is equally spectacular as before, but in a different light. Sometimes dramatic, with the clouds hovering above the highest peaks, and sometimes enlightened, as some sunshine manages to get through. Most of the road is actually in pretty good condition, only part of it is ‘ripio’, although [...]

11. Puyuhuapi

Locations
Next up is Puyuhuapi. Just as insignificant as all the other villages along the Carretera Austral, but equally charming. Wooden houses, a restaurant or two, and – rather unique along this road – access to the sea.  So there is a jetty, and some fishing boats moored along the Costa Nera. Unfortunately, our luck – [...]
