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.

looking for capybaras
We are happy that our guide Pato goes with us on the tour to the pampas as well. It is a 2 1/2 hour jeep ride and a short trip up the river to the ecolodge. That afternoon we get in a boat to search for animals and immediately are greeted by a plethora of exciting birds (sereres, jacamars, giant kingfishers, tiger herons, caracaras, harpy eagles), and soon we see PINK RIVER DOLPHINS! By the end of the day we have seen everything we hoped we would see except for capybaras. A pretty good day.
