Our World Journey

Chile

This blog decribes our 39 days of travel through Chile and Easter Island (26 March 2006 - 4 May 2006). Besides the amazing oppurtunity to explore Easter Island we also walked the Torres del Paine national park, took a trip on a cargo boat, saw amazing local culture,climbed a snow-capped active volcano, took horses into the countryside, floated in salt lakes, saw geysers spouting at 4300m.a.s. and checked out the driest place on earth - the Atacama desert.

Leaving Villarrica

Hosteria de la Colina is an upmarket B&B on a hill in Villarrica. I (Johan) surprised Janine with a night's stay in this beautiful guesthouse. The food was absolutely amazing as was the wood fueled Japanese hot tub in the garden. The American owners were very kind and gave us the best room for the price of their cheapest room! The following night we travelled to Santiago (about 700km north) by bus.

We stayed in downtown Santiago in an area known as Bario Brasil. The streets were clean and safe and the public transport system is great.

We left for Easter Island early the next morning.
