Lonquimay to Pucón

Hey everyone! A quick post for today, but we are now in the plush tourist destination of Pucón, at the base of Villarica volcano (currently steaming as I look above the monitor out the window). Our campsite feels like an elfin village, with these cool wooden walkways connecting a series of ponds and little island coves (pictures to come soon!).

As exciting as steaming Villarica sounds, it is nothing compared to the actual eruption we witnessed at Llaima volcano this morning! On our drive out of Lonquimay the gods of weather decided to finally cooperate, and gave us a cloudless sky with perfect views of Llaima as it sputtered ash into the air.

Oh shoot, I have to get back to camp, sorry to cut this short! I will continue this tomorrow, but until then, here´s Llaima!
