In all these years since we started writing this blog we have had the privilege to enjoy countless incredible moments amidst breath-taking landscapes and natural beauty, travelling around Chile and beyond. And still we find ourselves knocked off our feet every now and then by yet another new remarkable experience: this year’s total solar eclipse definitely falls into this category.

Autumn in Malalcahuello - hot springs & snow
Autumn has arrived in Malalcahuello, the temperatures have dropped and a fresh layer snow has descended on the nearby volcano cones. During the month of May we woke up many mornings to frost and even a little snow on the ground near our dome shaped cabin. Lucky that for Chilean standards it is well insulated and relatively easy to keep at a comfortable temperature, at least compared to the house we used to rent in Santiago.

Volcán Lonquimay
One of our first proper outings, about a week after we arrived in Malalcahuello, was dedicated to climbing Volcán Lonquimay, whose majestic cone we can see from our cabin on a clear day.

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.
