Nevados de Chillán and Valle Las Trancas

As it is our usual tradition, we normally take a weekend out at the beginning of May to celebrate Patricia's birthday and take a breather from the routine. This year we went to Valle Las Trancas which combines opportunities for outdoor activities and outstanding natural beauty (as well as peace and quiet!).

Parque Nevado Tres Cruces

We visited the Nevado Tres Cruces National Park a couple of weekends ago. It had been a while since we last went to the Atacama Desert, and since we have a friend who now lives in Caldera who we wanted to visit, this seemed like a great opportunity for an excursion.

Termas el Plomo, Laguna de los Patos and a little rafting

It is nice to be able to escape Santiago every now and then, especially at weekends. Cajon de Maipo is near enough for that so a few days ago we planned a rafting, exploring and hot spring trip with a few friends.

Carretera Austral y Parque Los Glaciares

It has become our Christmas tradition to spend the second half of December somewhere beautiful (...ideally where we have not been before). Since we have so many options to choose from, this year was no exception. The Carretera Austral (...and beyond) had been on our list for some time, and while it is not exactly a journey that we would recommend squeezing into just 2 weeks (which is how much time off we allowed ourselves during this holiday season), we did try to cover some ground and explore its southern part a bit.
