Pucón, Chile

We arrived in Pucón after an 11 hour bus trip. It actually turned out to be not that bad, we left Santiago around 1120pm and arrived around 10am. It´s the cutest town ever, everything is wood and it´s surrounded by lakes, mountains and volcanos! Reminds me of Tahoe. TODO the activities are outdoor. Rafting, biking, you name it....

We did the zip line or canopy on our first day. It was so much fun. We did a total of 11 lines across the river, through the trees, it was beautiful. And such a good adrenaline rush! Waiting to go I think was a little bit scarrier because we stood on these wood, man made platforms, that swayed in the wind. Still, it was great fun! Below is Billy heading down and Vale and I ready to go!

We´re staying in Hostel Willy, a very cute little hostel. Valentina and I got hooked up with our own room and private bath, I think because Daniele loves us perché siamo le ragazze italiane e possiamo parlare con lui! Dunque, last night we grabbed a quick bite and then we went and hung out in our common room. It was great fun! I taught people Spoons, the card game, and we played that most of the night. It was so funny; they all loved it!!!!!

Pucón is awesome.
