At Home in Futaleufu
We settled into our AirBnB outside Futaleufu. It’s actually well outside Futaleufu, about 45 kms. It’s remote. The water is pumped from the Futaleufu River, the electricity is strained, and hot water is inconsistent. While the house lacks certain comforts and consistencies, the redeeming quality is its location in the valley and on the river. […]
Hornopiren – Caleta Gonzalo Ferry on Carretera Austral
Heading south on the Carretera Austral from Hornopiren requires a 4.5 hour ferry ride (actually made up of two ferries with a stretch of gravel road between them). We booked our passage on the ferry months in advance, as we were concerned the high traffic season would impede our ability to secure fare at a […]
Into Northern Patagonia via Hornopiren
After 16 days in Puerto Varas in the Lakes district, we loaded up the 4Runner with all of our gear and luggage and started on the southern journey on Ruta 7, the Carretera Austral. Our first leg of the trip was down to Hornopiren. It took about four hours and included a 30 minute ferry […]
Beach Day in Puerto Varas, Chile
As we wound down our 16 days in Puerto Varas, we tended to spend time exploring the town and playing on its lake beaches. Without any beach toys, floats, or other items, there wasn’t much to do on the beach. We found a lot of fun in simple activities. Wilson and I threw the baseball. […]
Visiting Frutillar, the German-Influenced Town Near Puerto Varas
Along the coast of the lake, just north of Puerto Varas, is the town of Frutillar. The town has a significant German influence, as evidenced by its architecture and foods. The town also has a heavy musical influence, with a tremendous and modern theater built over the lake waters.
Pudu Hunting Day 2, Now in Parque Tepuhueico
On the second day of our search, which was the our last morning on Chiloe, the pressure was on to spot a pudu. We had struck out the day before at Parque Tantauco. When entering Parque Tepuhueico, we did manage to spot a pudu, several actually. Jane claims the prize as the #1 pudu spotter. […]
Hunting for Pudu in Parque Tantauco on Chiloe
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, […]
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

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 […]
