Over two days, we spent many hours driving and hiking in search of the shy pudu, the second smallest deer in the world. It’s not yet an endangered species, but its population is on the decline, and it likely will be endangered due to overhunting and loss of habitat. The pudu of Chiloe are unique, […]
Valentine’s Day in Coyhaique
Over our Valentines Day here in Chile, we have done some little Valentine’s Day things. We went on a hike and someone put hearts on the trail. We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. We made each other valentines. They were VERY artistic, if I do say so myself. Wilson took screenshots of things he […]
Visiting Castro on Chiloe
Castro is the largest town on the remote island of Chiloe, home to the historic and colorful stilted houses, palafitos, and the colorful churches. The churches of Castro and the island of Chiloe are so unique, the BBC recently published a documentary on these remote churches on the edge of the world. We explore the […]
Jane’s Birthday Time Warp Adventure Montage
Jane’s turns eleven today. In her short life, she’s spent two years as a nomad. In 2016, she traveled 30,000 miles around the U.S. to explore national parks and wilderness. In 2022/23, she lived and traveled abroad in Chile. In celebration of her birthday, I picked out pictures from 2016 and 2022/23 that mirrored each […]
Camping at Parque Nacional Chiloe
We opted to camp in Chiloe national park along the Pacific coastline. We enjoyed the campground, the trails through the park, and the trail to the beach. The small town of Cucao served tourists to the park, and lucky for us, they served chicken nuggets and fries for the kids. The campground was quite pleasant. […]
Jane’s Take on Tuna
When we got to Chile, we were surprised that they didn’t have a lot of things we were used to, like brown sugar and good produce. But later we found out that instead of putting their attention on the fruit and knocked-over-yogurts all over the shelves, they have a full aisle(s) of canned tuna. Sure, there’s […]
First Day Camping in Chiloe
We opted to take a few days to visit Chiloe, a large and remote island on the Chilean coast. The island has a unique culture, and it’s my understanding the inhabitants are Chileoen first and Chilean second. We also opted to camp, as I’d brought all of our camping gear from America. On the first […]
Chilean Rhubarb
We’ve seen these giant leaved plants all over Southern Chile. You know they grab your attention when your nearly 11 year old asks for a picture with one. Gunnera tinctoria, better known as Chilean Rhubarb, is an invasive species. The stocks, like regular rhubarb, can be eaten. Park rangers shared with us that the Pudu […]
Rafting Rio Trancura in Pucon, Chile
My siblings gave us $200USD for Christmas to fund an excursion on our adventure through Chile. We used the gift to book a rafting trip down the Rio Trancura (wiki), a river just outside of Pucon. The 12-kilometer stretch of river we paddled has many small rapids and five Class III rapids. It was a […]
Nelson, no, Wilson
It started back in August shortly after we arrived and the kids joined choir in Vitacura. “Bye, Nelson!” a kid said to Wilson. We looked at Wilson, “Nelson?” Wilson quickly shared that everyone thought he had said his name was “Nelson”. At first he had tried to correct them, but then and he just went […]
