A trip to the South of Chile

The best holiday I’ve ever had so far, was in February this year. It was a trip my family and I had been planning a few months before. We wanted to go in a motor home to the south of Chile, that way we could visit a lot of places and it was a whole new way of traveling for us. I actually don’t remember very well exactly where we went each day, I remember of course all the places that we visited, but not in order. And I know it hasn’t been that long since we went, but my memory is reeeaally bad L.

Back to the trip, we did go.  We invited our cousin too, so there was six of us. The whole time I was so excited for the trip, since I never went there before.

Our main goal was to get to Chiloé, we obviously didn’t make it the first night, so we slept in a gas station in Los Angeles, which at first was a weird thing to do, but also fun! The next morning, we continued our way to Puerto Montt, and then to Chiloé. The best part was to travel in the ferry, it was so cold outside, it even rained a little bit, but like everything we were doing, it was another new experience. And we got to see some seals in the ocean too!

It was unbelievably beautiful there. The views were amazing, it was all surrounded by just nature and it was the best thing ever. We had lunch there and continued to Dalcahue, we had trouble though finding a nice camping place, so we could sleep. February and the holidays were ending so there weren’t too many people camping or anything like that, and not all the places were trustworthy. We found one right next to the sea, and we made a barbecue in the night under the light of millions and millions of stars that you can’t see here in Santiago, and it was everything just so quiet, you could hear the sea and the wind through the trees. It was just wonderful.

I don’t exactly remember where we went next, but we did go to Frutillar when we were returning from Chiloé, and we saw the Lago Llanquihue, which was yet another beautiful thing of the trip. We met there and English man, Hans, who had a plot there and a motorhome as well. And my dad, as good with words as he is, we got along pretty fast with him, so we spent the night there.

So, summing up, we ate, slept, rested and enjoyed a lot. But the best part for me, was to spent a whole week with my family, since we don’t get these opportunities to be together that long, due to the fact that my parents work all day all days, especially my dad that works every single day and we didn’t have a holiday like this before.

I hope we can have a holiday like this again, but maybe this time for a little bit longer or even in another country, that would be amazing.
