Chiloé, an unforgettable trip

 It was a mother and daughter trip. We got on a bus in Santiago at night and we arrived to Castro the next day. The bus crossed the Chacao canal on a ferry. Of course we went outside the bus to feel the cold wind and look at the not so Pacific Ocean, it was unavoidable to feel a little bit afraid with the movement of the ship.

We arrived to Castro at noon. Perfect to find a good place to have lunch. After walking a lot, without any sense of direction 😅 we found a restaurant in a palafito, the typical Chiloe building. After that we took a taxi to Chonchi a very beautiful town in the archipielago. We spent the night in a very comfortable hostel. The next morning we walked around visiting all the attractions there.

Our next destination was the most beautiful place on Earth, Cucao. We went there in a rural bus. There we rented a hut in the middle of the forest. Can you imagine that?! No neighbours, no noise, no nothing 😆, but a hot tub under a stary sky.

In Cucao, we ate a curanto made under the ground covered with nalcas. It was delicious, but as nothing is perfect, that day I had a terrifying experience. We were trying to find a way to the beach when a group of horseflies started to follow me wherever I went. I was getting mad because of their buzzing, after I found that it was because of the colors I was wearing (they like blue and black).

The next day we went to El Muelle de las Almas. The name sounded attractive so we imagined a very spectacular place. We walked for about two hours, it was very difficult to walk under the trees going up and down over and over again. We were exhausted but with high motivation. But when we arrived there, we thought it was a fraud, we found a long line of human beings going nowhere and no spirits at all😂.

It was an amazing trip, the landscapes were marvellous, people were extremely kind, architecture was unique, food was magnificent, but what made this trip unforgettable is that nothing was planned, so everything surprised us.
