La Campana - an autumn walk above the clouds

La Campana is a national park near Santiago in the Valparaiso region. There are several treks to do in the area but the most challenging one is the Sendero Andinista which goes up to Cerro la Campana.

An autumn weekend in the south

The 1st of May, like in many other places, is a public holiday in Chile, and this year many made a 4-day long weekend of it. We were no exception, although we already left Santiago Tuesday morning having made arrangements for a work trip followed by a few days of fun down south. "Down south" in Chile can refer to anywhere between Santiago and the Straight of Magellan, we headed to the Bio-Bio region, about 500km south of the capital.
