Our Malalcahuello retreat

In case you have recently been following our blog a little bit you may have noticed a flurry of activity, which is for a reason. Towards the end of 2018 we have come to realize that we needed a proper break from corporate life (Patricia) and life in the big city (Christian), and our road trip to Peninsula Valdes in March with our friend Sandra was the first stage of that. On the very last leg of that trip, back on the Chilean side of the border, a day's drive south of Santiago, we spent the final couple of nights in a little village called Malalcahuello. We liked it so much that after our return to Santiago we emptied our house, boxed up or sold our belongings and decided to come back to Malalacahuello to make it our new base for the next couple of months.

Peninsula Valdes (Chubut, AR)

We finally made our way to Peninsula Valdés (for travelers, worth reminding "do not underestimate how far this place is from Buenos Aires, Bariloche or Punta Arenas"). Most travelers visit the Peninsula for its biodiversity.
