Yerba Loca in the spring

Spring is in the air and what better to do than going for a little hike in the Andes! We had arranged with a few friends and colleagues to spend Sunday in Yerba Loca, a nature reserve east of Santiago which we've previously visited on a couple of occasions.

A little update and the spring is coming!

Wow, almost 3 months since our last post. Must be a sign that our life in Chile is becoming normality as opposed to something exciting to blog about. Anyway, we're still here and maybe it's time for a quick update...

Chile Stew - Cochayuyo and Araucaria pinenuts

We have previously posted recipes here but none of them has been of "typical" Chilean food. This one probably is not going to be a "typical" dish either but it is one that we have created and which uses very typical local ingredients. We call it "The Chile Stew".

The Amazon Jungle (Southern Peru Part 4)

When we planned our trip we thought we should try and cover a chunk of Bolivia while we are "in the area". But of course distances - and travel times - usually turn out way longer than expected. So before we even got to Cusco we changed our mind and decided that we would travel to Bolivia another time and rather make use of the opportunity to explore another fascinating place in southern Peru: ManĂº National Park.
