1/2/2014 Pucon, Chile

Dos mujeres exploradoras valiente! Our name is expanding. The ranger at the Villarica park office added the mujeres valiente part.

We are now in Pucon, Chile. This is a big adventure center. Lots of outfitters ready to sell every kind of adrenaline producing experience. We are back in the land of tourists.

Spent the day wandering around town. Bought food for our hike. Signed up for the hike up Volcano Villarica for tomorrow. We will have a guide, crampons, ice axe, and lots of fun. We were told to go have a pasta dinner to get ready for a hard climb. We are going to gorge on lamb instead! It's delicious down here. The grocery store options for backpacking food leave lots to be desired. Oh well, it's definitely not about the food. This hike will be about 6 days and won't have refugios to supplement our meals or alcohol consumption.

Well, the lamb was awesome. Now wine and chocolate. Then bed. Probably no internet for 6-7 days.

Ciao!
