Llanquihue lake in Puerto Varas is so big that Zara and I had a pretty interesting argument about whether this is a lake or the sea. When a lake gets so large that it has waves in it, I tend to think that it’s more like a sea. Couple that … more »

Patagonia will take you away. This photo was taken in Puerto Natales. The locals are bored of views like this. It’s unbelievable!
They’re meaty . They’re massive. They drip mayonnaise like a Hellman’s sponsored fountain… They are, THE CHILEAN SANDWICHES! It doesn’t take more than a couple of days in Chile to understand that Chileans love their sandwiches! Whenever you are looking for a place to eat, you will most … more »
