Visiting Frutillar, the German-Influenced Town Near Puerto Varas

February 20, 2023 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

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

February 19, 2023 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

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. […]

Accordion Museum on Chiloe

February 18, 2023 by Katie Kelley Leave a Comment

When we were in Chiloe on a particularly rainy day and had some time to kill before dinner, we stopped into the Accordion Museum there. The man that ran it was adorable. He had restored hundreds (?) of old accordions. The kids were kind of meh about it until they realized there were many accordions […]

Hunting for Pudu in Parque Tantauco on Chiloe

February 17, 2023 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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

February 16, 2023 by Jane Kelley Leave a Comment

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

February 15, 2023 by Mark Kelley 5 Comments

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

February 14, 2023 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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

February 13, 2023 by Jane Kelley Leave a Comment

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

February 12, 2023 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

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 […]
