After eight days of travel with my partner in crime, Rachael, we finally met up with the rest of the group in Pucón. ISA included a big trip to this beautiful tourist spot for the whole weekend, and it was definitely worth it. The rest of our classmates took a bus from Valpo all the way down to Pucón, and we met them there the morning of the 12th.
That day, we all went on a tour that showed us many of the facets of the town. We spent time sightseeing the beautiful streams, waterfalls, and greenery that the south of Chile has to offer; we visited an indigenous Mapuche household, discussed culture and got to try homemade treats; and we finished the day by passing a few hours at the natural hot springs. | |||||

On Saturday, I spent the day with friends at the National Park, hiking for a bit but mostly relaxing in the sun. And on Sunday, we went zip-lining! I wasn't too nervous because it was my second time. I actually felt more secure hanging from the line than climbing up the wonky ladders on the trees that were blowing in the wind. |
