Los Colectivos...: Pucon adventures...

OK here it is...The aim of our adventure is to travel across Australia and around South America (then maybe back around Oz) for 6 to 8 months (or maybe 11) on two motorcycles. The plan is to jump on our two KLR650's here in Perth and head east over the hills. We will aim to reach Sydney within a couple of weeks before embarking for Santiago, Chile by plane. Once in South America, we will circumnavigate the lower half of the continent over the course of the months soaking in the as much of the cultures, sights, sounds and architecture that is on offer. We will travel in a anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing from Santiago....we will keep you all posted on the craziness, well most of it anyway!

Pucon adventures...

Pucon is one of the main tourist towns of Chile and most of the activities are centered around the volcano, mountains and lakes that surround the town. Pucon strangely looks like something out of Switzerland with log and stone buildings everywhere. There is heaps of adventure activites to do around the town. But with bad weather for the whole week we were there we were pretty upset not be able to climb up to the volcano but we still managed to stay entertained! We went horse riding to a beautiful waterfall, sat in thermal baths for hours and a went down white water rapids with boogie boards... or what the tour operators call hydrospeed! All good fun... next stop Argentina.
