Pucon!

We are staying at a delightful, small hostel called El Refugio. The beds here are amazing! So wonderfully large and comfy. I think they are the best beds so far. Its small and cozy so we have been chatty with the other guests here and its been delightful.

We are in Pucon, we came here hoping to climb the Villarica volcano. It is an active volcano and thus its weather dependent. We arrived an immediately booked on to the first tour leaving in the morning (lucky for us its 6:30 am). Our first attempt was a no go and so we hung around for a second try. This will not be happening, the conditions are too hazardous. Oh well. Pucon is still really cute. The town itself is charming and small, easily walkable.

We are going to go to the hot springs instead. The Termas Geometricas is crazy. We are headed there with most of the other folks from the hostel that we have gotten friendly with through the rainy day. The springs were built by an arichtect and it takes an hour and a half to get there. There are 14 or 16 different pools carved out of the rocks. I am so excited to chill out by the hot springs and enjoy. It is not a cheap adventure, costing us roughly $32 a person to get there, back, and enjoy the hot pools. Seeing as how we didnt get to do the volcano, we are splurging on this instead.

Tonight, we take an overnight bus to Santiago, and Tuesday EASTER ISLAND!
