The small town provided a chance for a light resupply and enough cell service to make a couple of calls. It’s a quiet fishing village, and we found excellent seafood dinner at El Muelle, “the dock”.
Last Days in Futaleufu
We grew accustomed to our rustic cabin on the banks of the Futaleufu River. Though we were remote and the cabin lacked some necessities, the green river and dramatic landscape redeemed the other conditions. We made a few visits to the sleepy town, but we found the most enjoyment swimming in the river.
Nights outside Futaleufu
One thing Mark and I were talking about recently is just how loud Chile has been. In Santiago, we had the apartment parties across the street with our favorite penthouse guy that liked to party until 7am on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We had the kid who played soccer at 2am on his porch below us […]
Zip Lining at Canopy Chile
Since we were abroad this Christmas, some of our family members Venmo’d us money to spend on excursions and experiences in Chile. We used a gift from granddad to take the family on one of the top rated zip line experiences in Chile, Canopy Chile outside Puerto Varas. At one point, the zip line travels […]
Food Delivery in Puerto Varas

Mark and I ordered some Uber Eats which was surprisingly available in Puerto Varas, the only other place we’d seen it offered was Santiago. We were pretty pumped to have dinner delivered. We placed […]

Visit to Palena, Chile
We ventured a bit off the beaten path to Palena, Chile, a sleepy town south of Futaleufu and near the border with Argentina. We drove the fifty KMs to the town for fuel and few grocery items. We were running low, and they have a small COPEC gas station there. Since we’re so remote, it […]
Sendero Ventisquero, near Chaiten, Chile
We drove about an hour from our AirBnB outside of Futaleufu towards Chaiten for a pleasant hike to see a glacier in Corcovado national park.
Earthworms and Cyclops
Jane and Wilson are always singing. They sing the musical, Hadestown, while we’re hiking or doing school work. They make up random songs about what we’re doing and sing them frequently. They sing funny songs or change lyrics to make funny songs and sing them to each other in the car. So kids, this post […]
Wilson & Prayer
The kids have been away from Catholic school for almost a full school year now. Well technically they’re doing virtual Catholic schooling through the Diocese of Raleigh but its outsourced through a group called Hudson Global Scholars which has no religious affiliation. We had the joy of attending a lovely non-denominational church in Santiago and […]
