Pucón

Blog post for Thursday, 2 November, 2023

Ten percent of the active volcanoes on earth are in Chile. Volcano Villarrica is very near where we are staying in Pucón.

Luckily it didn’t rain today and we had enough blue sky that we were able to see the volcano. We picked out a hike on the slope of the volcano. When we got to the park entrance and talked to the ranger we learned that the storm Monday had left too much snow to hike our chosen hike. So we hiked up from the entrance station about a mile and a half.

It was cool to see the smoke coming out of the volcano.

After our hike we went into the town of Pucón and had lunch.

Back at our hotel we rested then played cribbage and Rummikub.
