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 [...]

50. Awash

Blog entries
We are heading north again, this time to the Afar region and the desert area of Danakil. A stop-over in Awash allowed us a brief round through the Awash National Park, the first place where we do see some larger mammals, in numbers. Gazelles, and especially the majestic Oryx, as well as Kudu and what [...]
