A holiday

In January of this year, I went to the south of Chile for a holiday with my friends. This trip was organized several months ago by me and my closest friends from school. The plan was to go camping somewhere nice, quiet and as cheap as possible since we are all students and we don't have much money.

After investigating various Chilean tourist attractions, we decided to go to Cochamó, a town near the city of Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt. We plan to go to the camp in Cochamó for a week and then stay a couple of days in a hostel in Puerto Varas.

Finally, the holidays began on January 15. That morning we flew from Santiago to Puerto Varas, then we took a bus to Cochamó. The bus dropped us off where a 3-4 hour trail begins to the La Junta Valley, where the camp was located. We arrived at the camp at around 7 in the afternoon.

It is a beautiful place, between huge stone mountains and with a lot of vegetation, next to the campsite a great river of crystalline and icy water passed. There we spent 6 days camping, we trekked in different mountains, we explored forests, we bathed in the river every day and there were also some natural stone slides, this was beautiful and very entertaining.

After very beautiful and intense days in the valley, we spent 2 nights in the city of Puerto Varas, where we rested, slept on the beach, and took the opportunity to go to the Casino to party for a while. Cochamó is undoubtedly an incredible destination and I highly recommend it if you like nature and trekking.
