Foto of the Week from … Santiago – The City from Above

For today’s Foto of the Week, I want to share some of the aerial photos I have gotten in Santiago. From Antilen Swimming Pool My first day in Santiago, Tim and I went to find the public pool he had heard about.  These photos were taken from the Antilen pool at the top of the […]

Foto of the Week from … Curiñaco – A Short Bus Ride to Paradise

Tim and I failed in our attempt to visit the Reserve in Curiñaco. We were told it is one of the most beautiful parks in the area. Don’t go on a Monday.  They are closed on Mondays, but it seems this is new because nobody in town knew this. Although it is only about 50 […]

Foto of the Week from … Isla Mancera – Empty Beach

Isla Mancera is a small island without any cars. It is a rustic life here.  It appears to be the place for Chilean families to go to relax and enjoy nature. We took a short bus ride from the center of Valdivia towards Niebla and then took a short boat ride to the island. You […]

Foto of the Week from … Cabo Froward Trek – The Happy Side

Now that we’ve all had a good laugh over the miseries I suffered trekking to the End of the World, I will share some happy photos. We awoke on Day 4 worried. I think we were all afraid (I was certainly terrified) at what Mother Nature may throw at us.  Luckily, it was not raining. […]

Foto of the Week from … Puerto Natales: Color

While everyone was still speculating about what would happen in Torres del Paine National Park, I took a walk by the water to clear my head. Puerto Natales is the capital of one of the provinces in the Magallanes region of Chile. I love port cities. Lots of photo opportunities with the old, colorful boats. […]

Foto of the Week from … El Chalten – A Pretty Farewell

On the last day of my Patagonian Trails Tour, I got up early to have breakfast with and say farewell to the great group of Aussies I got to know over the last several days.  Yep, that’s right.  I was surrounded by Aussies again, and I had a great time. David, who joined the tour […]

Foto of the Week from … El Calafate – Lake Sunset

El Calafate is even more beautiful than I imaged. The town is in the perfect setting on the border of Lago Argentino, which is fed by glacier meltwater. I went down to the lake to capture the sun setting behind the town.  Those shots are nice too, but I really like the pattern of the […]

Foto of the Week from … Lago Puelo – Silhouettes

Lago Puelo is an easy 30-minute bus ride from El Bolson. The day I went there were cenizas (aka ashes), but I still enjoyed relaxing on the beach for a while. I could not see the beautiful view everyone raves about.  But I did like the silhouettes of the kids playing in the lake with […]

I write about independent travel and my attempt to live simpler, consume less, and experience more. I hope to introduce you to new places and experiences, inspire you to go out and explore the world, and perhaps provide a little entertainment.
