Yesterday we were rudely awaken by our alarms, in the mist of a deep alcohol induced sleep. We eventually managed to drag ourselves out of bed and quickly got ready and loaded our backpacks onto the bus, with the help of the lovely Sergio, as always! We had one pick up in Puerto Varas town (German guy and new comer to our bus) and had a long days driving, making only brief loo breaks and fuel stops, arriving at Salto de Laja Waterfalls, via 'Las Angeles', at...

This morning we were up, refreshed and enjoying fruit, yoghurt, muesli and toast for breakfast at 9.00am.

This morning we were up at 7.30am after a rubbish nights sleep which we blame on jet lag and the noisy drunken Dublin girls wandering in and out of the room at all hours! Once we were ready we were greeted by Jorje, our Pachamama guide for the week, he directed us to the bus where Sergio, our driver, met us and loaded our bags. After everyone was on board we set of through the busy Santiago streets for a couple more pick ups, then we were on our way to Pichilemu ...
