Some pictures from my walk on the costanera road in Castro.

FOOD!! ceviche, curanto and this dish that I don’t remember the name of but was basically a sandwich with salmon instead of the bread and tomato, chorizo, and cheese on the inside. Whoever came up with that was a very, very smart person.

There are regular ferries that connect the smaller islands to the mainland, these are pictures on the way from Dalcahue to Achao, a short (ten minute) but picturesque ferry ride.

A sample of the wooden churches of Chiloe. Clockwise: Castro, Delcahue, Achao, Chonchi.

The insides of the churches at Achao and Chonchi.

The beach at Achao! Beautiful views on a bright sunny day. As I was admiring said views I almost got startled to death when I casually turned my head and saw this enormous dog’s face a few centimeters away from my face. But as all the other many dogs wandering the streets in Chile, it was friendly and really only interested in my sandwich.

A few pictures from Chonchi, a town a half hour south of Castro. the man on the balcony was watching me taking pictures and started waving to me. There is also the view of Isla Lemuy opposite Chonchi and the colorful church dominating the skyline.

Torres del Paine!

Here are some pictures from my 4 day trek in Torres del Paine. Everyone I had met on my trip South was either coming or going to this park, the most popular one in Chile. Travelers ranted and raved about it, and it did not disappoint!

My pack was HEAVYYY! That first day was a little hard, but it got easier once the food started disappearing.

Here’s a picture of a cool big rock that I had to include for all the geology nerds out there. Look at those folds!
