They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I think that this is the perfect illustration of that quote. This is what Chile is all about... Sunshine, clear water, and big waterfalls with fluffy landings. I have now been in Pucon for around a week and in that time have been lucky enough to paddle the upper and middle Rio Palguin, the Rio Nevados, Rio Coilaco, and today, the Rio Llancahue.
Upon arriving in Pucon, I found myself in the midst of gringolandia, as kayakers from the states, England and Australia descended upon me as I sat at Kayak Chile in downtown. That afternoon, Ben, the owner, took us all up to his house where we lapped the upper Palguin, and then had a nice asado in the sun, accompanied by copious amounts of drinking. Welcome to Chile.
Melting into the oh-so-sweet stout on the Middle Palguin. The next day we went back and ran it again after a few laps on the upper. Ya, it's just that good.
Park-n-huck wonderland. After a few laps on the Nevados, we decided to stop and run this beautiful 30 footer near the road on the way home.
Stay tuned for more updates from the land of endless whitewater...
