On the third day of the jeep trip, we wake up at 4:00 in the dark and freezing morning. I don´t want to get up but Mike says, "Wanna know something that will make you get out of bed really fast? There´s bed bugs." Away we go, into the jeep and onto the geysers which are best seen at sunrise. After that we are rewarded with a dip in the thermal baths and a breakfast of pancakes. By 9:00am, we are dropped off at the border to take the bus into Chile.
Deciding not to endure the Seattle winter this year, I've gone to the southern hemisphere for six months. First a month of travel in Bolivia and north and central Chile, then on to southern Chile for my internship with the Chol Chol Foundation in Temuco. Fundacion Chol Chol is a fair trade organization that promotes the artisan work of Mapuche weavers.
