From Puerto Varas to Osorno and then further to Entre Lagos at the eastern end of lake Puyehue (2000 + 1300 pesos)

After a 35 hour journey from Zurich to Puerto Montt I finally arrived at my starting point in Patragonia at 9 o'clock in the morning. After a quick strole along the Shore I made my way up the steap roads of the small city to Casa Perla, where I booked my first two nights. I was greated by Perla, her sons Family. As I hadn't slept for more than a couple of hours on the journey I wasn't much of a conversationist but they all understood and left me to sort out my things an take a warm shower. As I wasn't in the mood for cooking I took back to the city for a hot meal.

Breakout Imminent! - Three more Months to go until I start my journey.

We've just entered into July of 2018 and according to schedule I quit my job at Postbus Switzerland and my appartement in Winterthur I've lived in the past four years to start my new life as a "foot-nomad". There are still some last pendencies to take care of like clearing all taxes, giving up my Swiss residency and insurances and definitiv planning of the first part of my trip.

3 Months to go until I fly overseas, I can barely wait.

Still one of the moste remote free treks in South America, the trail to Cabo Froward will soon be corrupted by new coastal road that is currently under construction. I tried the trail myself in late 2015 but had to turn back early because of bad wheather. The first part of he trek leads from Rio San Pedro a small fishing village south of Punta Arenas along the magellane strait to the last occupied Lighthouse on South American mainland called Faro San Isidro. The whole trail follows the coast and is easy to walk.
