A hiking friend around Parque Conguillío Chile





My hiking friend visited Malalcahuello, which he says is in the middle of nowhere. But, it was a very nice experience.

He climbed a mountain called Sierra Nevada near Parque Conguillío that he says was beautiful.

He definitely recommends staying at a great hostel call Suizandina that served great breakfasts and dinners. The hostel is located in Curacautín.

Check out those Araucaria trees!

A hiking friend on Pucón





My hiking friend says that Pucón is a tourist but that he enjoyed it very much after coming through the Carretera Austral.

He climbed Volcan Villarrica which was nice but a little pricey. Take a close look at that wonderful photo from flickr of the volcano!

My friend says that Parque Nacional Huerquehue had nice hikes around the lakes and Araucaria trees.I love the Araucaria trees!
