Frutillar - time to discover the German roots in Chile

Jo together with some goose on the campground in Frutillar.

What is an "extremes Bier"?

Eva in front of the Lago Llanquihue. In the background you can see the Vulcano Osorno.

Nice German houses.

Kuchen was everywhere!

We didn´t know that Tom Hanks is a member of the "Bayern Fanclub Küps".

Ruta 40 - A bus on the wrong way on Patagonias dirt roads

Should a normal big bus drive on those roads???? We believe not...

But after more than 24 hours in the bus we arrived finally in Chile.


Around El Chalten

The next day started with an impressive moon corona.

And the sunrise in El Chalten.

And the Mount Fitzroy was really spectecular during the sunrise.

:-) It was worth to get up so early.



The next days we were (of course) trekking around the Mount Fitzroy and had a lot of fun.

But to have fun was necessary, as the weather was again not the best.

But the landscape was pretty even with bad weather.

The "rio el bosque" valley that leads to Villa O´Higgins in Chile.

Effi´s Birthday in El Chalten

After the this glacier highlight we went on to El Chalten and "celebrated" Effi´s birthday. Celebrating is a little bit hard within the lent. So no sweets, no alcohol, no coffee. But it was time for an important present... 

... an appointment at the hairdresser. Time for change!

In the afternoon we were hiking a little bit and had a great view of the Fitzroy massif.

In the evening we had a little party with some doggy guests.

Happy birthday Effi!!!!!!!
