Cerro Pintor

Last Saturday we went on a nice little walk that we thought we should document in our blog. Our mission for the day: climb Cerro Pintor, one of the relatively easily accessible 4000+m peaks near Santiago.

Christmas & New Year 2012/13

This was our second Christmas in Chile and just like last year we took about two weeks off work to get out of Santiago. Once again, we headed down south - the obvious thing to do during the height of the summer. This time, however, not quite as far south as last year.

Santa Cruz, Siete Tazas and Tarantulas

We had an awesome weekend. Friday we spent some time in Santa Cruz, a small city a couple of hundred kilometers south from Santiago. It is a traditional town known mainly for its crafts and wines. Saturday morning, we spent our time like proper tourist wandering the handcraft markets.

Then we moved on to Parque Nacional Siete Tazas. A natural reserve where the Claro de Molina river starts. The reserve is beautiful, it has native forests and the river valley is well worth a visit (pictures are often better than descriptions!)
