Chile photos

We had a fantastic time in Chile and have had not had strong enough internet to publish updates.  But here are some pictures until our posts can be updated!


Isla Negra, the second of Pablo Neruda's three houses that we visited.




Viña del Mar, busy beach!






Heading out from Valparaiso, ready for Patagonia!

Traveling light!

Our comfy overnight bus from Valparaiso to Puerto Varas in the Lake District: 13 hours.

Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, Frutillar and surrounding area:

Osorno Volcano and Llanquihue Lake, all very close to Calbuco Volcano that erupted dramatically on April 22!





A wildfire near Puerto Montt made for some dramatic sunsets.

Iglesia del Sagrado Corazon (Sacred Heart Church) in Puerto Varas.

Museum of German heritage in Frutillar.

Music is everywhere!  Street musicians in Puerto Varas.



Southern Chile: Punta Arenas.



An unsettling sight as we drove north from Punta Arenas.  Nobody was hurt.



Torres del Paine National Park:

Blue ice chunks floating in Lago Grey, near the Grey Glacier.

Lago Grey, with the Grey Glacier visible in the background.

Stunning blues.

Nik found a juggler friend at a cafe in Torres del Paine.






Guanacos (wild llamas) in their gorgeous habitat.

The towers of  Torres del Paine.





Penguins on Isla Magdalena, in the Straight of Magellan:















Back in Santiago before heading north, back to the US.
