The one and only hiking - Clem Lindenmayer

by Trekki

If you plan to do serious hiking in Patagonia, I even would warn you not even think of buying any other book than Lonely Planet's Trekking in the Patagonian Andes. All my Patagonia hikes I did with this book (have all 3 editions by now :-). The descriptions are reliable, the maps accurate, the trek hours as well (I knew at any point how much to add to his hours to meet my pace).Once I thought to increase my Patagonia library by buying a german hiking book - even from a well known alpine publisher. What a waste of money !!! They seemed to have copied Clem on their trails, added their own fantasy here and there and I was either quicker or slower than them??."Trekking in the Patagonian Andes", 3rd edition, by Clem Lindenmeyer, ISBN: 186450059X, 296 pages, 36 maps, USD 19,99.The author, Clem Lindenmeyer has hiked Patagonia for years, and each edition adds some new treasures to the known...

Los palafitos of Chiloe

by elsadran

Remains of Palafitos have been found even coming from Neolithic Time. Initially they must have been built for fishing. Later they were converted to summer houses and finally it's the most common sight in South East Asia, West Africa and South America. Especially in the warm climates, obviously. They are very practical because they protect from beasts and snakes. It 's perfect in case of flood. (Although sometimes I am wondering if these flimsy legs will support the whole thing next time...! But it seems they do..) They use the shade underneath for keeping their animals and their supplies and boats. It's cool and has got great views most of the times. The next step towards the evolution of palafitos is the floating villages, as in Cambodia and Peru ! I can't do without telling the well-known story where Venezuela took its name by the surprised Americo Vespucci when he saw it for the...

The blue whale..largest on Earth !

by elsadran

Blue whales are sea mammals. Scientists believe they are the largest animals that have ever lived. They can be up to 33 meters long and up to 190 tons heavy ! It can gulp down 14 million of krills, small fish and squid a day! Krills are little crustaceans like tiny shrimps. According to recent reports only 5,000-12,000 blue whales are left although there has been a protection law since 1966 by the International Community.And some..useless information..: Females are larger than males. The new born whale calf can be 7 meters long!! They grow up fast... at the speed of 4 kilos an hour !!!The heart is as large as a small car and weighs about 2 tons and the diameter of the main artery is 1,80 meters !!! They live for 90 years in average.Click on photo to learn more -->Extra info here Blue Whale Photo

Flaming beauty

by TheWanderingCamel

Springtime in Patagonia sees the countryside a blaze of red as the Chilean Firebush - Embothium coccineum, a form of protea - known as notro here, comes into bloom. An insignificant shrubby tree most of the year, it is the glory of the region in Spring and summer, blooming for 4 months of the year. The further south we went, the more intense the colour became until it was absolutely dazzling against the bright green fields.Hummingbird heaven - the long tubular flowers are especially adapted to being fertilized by hummingbirds - last spring was a bumper year. Glenn, our host in Villaricca told us his hummingbird feeders were all left neglected as the trees were putting out such a mass of blooms. The flowers posed problems for photography - in sunlight the intense red was inclined to blow out, turning the flowers an insignificant orangey-red that bore no relation to the true colour. A dull...

Chile's liberator

by TheWanderingCamel

Born the illegitimate son of an Irish father ,who served the Spanish in Peru, and the daughter of an aristocratic Chilean family, Bernardo O'Higgins rose to be a major figure in South America's fight to throw off the yoke of Spain in the early years of the 19th century. His father was an influential figure and he made sure his son was properly educated and had opportunities for advancement which ultimately led to him being appointed second-in-command by Jose de San Martin, the Liberator of Argentina. O'Higgins fought for the independence of Argentina and Peru as well as Chile and his reward was to be made the Director Supremo of the new republic in 1818. He oversaw many reforms in Chile, founded the Navy, colleges and hospitals and worked tirelessly for the modernisation of the country. Diputes with the old order within the country led to him being exiled to Peru, where he died and was...

Pisco sours

by TheWanderingCamel

I'm not sure whether this should come under Warnings or Local Customs rather than here as a favourite thing because Chile's obssession with Pisco Sours just about qualifies as both. Unless you are a teetotaller, you have about as much chance of leaving Chile without having tasted one as the proverbial snowball in you know where. Made from a local brandy ( yes, it is made from grapes), mixed with lemon juice, sugar and egg white (to give it a distinctive foamy top), it's very drinkable -and very potent! Make sure your Pisco sour is the real thing though - shaken by hand, not made up from a mix. The bartender at the Radisson Hotel in Santiago makes a really good one.

Chile has the perfect climate for fruit!

by VeronicaG

When we travel to Curico, which is in the Maule district of Chile, we find many fruit stands along the roadside. This area is perfect for growing grapes (it's one of the best places in Chile for wine) and myriad types of fruit.The prices are less here than in Santiago, so we usually stock up. On our recent trip (Feb.06) we purchased a crate of blackberries for $4.50 US; 6 large pears for under $1 US; 7 large tomatoes for under $1 US; 10 apples and a large watermelon for about $1.75 each U.S. **Of course, we paid in pesos, but I gave the US equivalent. The luscious fruit!!

Service Centers

by VeronicaG

Copec Pronto is a service center you will find on the highways of Chile. When we traveled there in February 2006, gas was about $4.00 per gallon. COPEC PRONTO has gas, restrooms (usually free), snacks, light meals, beverages and dining area. An example of the food prices at COPEC PRONTO: we ordered 5 hotdogs, 5 beverages and two large orders of fries to share and it totaled $4.000 pesos. **$5.000 pesos is equiv. to US $10.The regular COPEC service centers have gas, small snacks and restrooms that can be used for a small fee and not much more.You will also see ESSO stations. They have "On The Run" stores and also sell light snack items.Most of our travel has been along the Pan American Highway and there are several Copecs on this route.
