Our First Time In Chile 🇨🇱 Was NOT What We Expected (Hot Springs + Active Volcano)
Good morning here from the beautiful capital
city of Santiago, Chile. And today is probably the most exciting day of my life or
in this year at least. We going to Patagonia finally. We came to this part Latin America
only because of this Patagon road trip. Yeah, this is like the number one reason why
we came to this side of the world honestly. And we actually going to be driving this one, the
Subaru 4×4 rooftop tent from Holiday Rent RV and it’s going to be our home for the next
25 days. So without further ado, let’s go. Today is going to be the toughest drive of
the entire Patagonia road trip. First of all, I need to get used to the car. We’re driving
on a different side of the road. And also, it’s going to be a 9 hours drive until we
arrive the volcanic town. So, this town, it has a lot of active volcanoes, which is what
we’re going to do the next few days. We’re going to spend some time there. But yeah, today the
main goal is just to get used to the car. So, a few days ago in Santiago, someone actually
snatched Alina’s phone right out of her hand. So, the first thing we’re doing today is heading to
the mall to get her a new backup phone for now. We’re just thinking to have two phones. One as a
backup phone and maybe one just put in a pocket for navigation, for payment and everything. One
we’ll put we’ll put everywhere like this. Yeah, like a decoy, like a fake phone. And the
second one, it’s our real phone that we’ll put it somewhere very secure. We quickly found the
cheapest phone for around 100 bucks and then went for lunch at a local fast food spot that is super
popular because apparently they make insanely good Chilean style hot dogs there. Unboxing. Well,
it feels new, but I know it’s one for 100 bucks. Also, guys, now you can see we’re in a
super famous hot dog fast food chain. It’s called domino. Most famous snack, like traditional food
that they eat here, is something called a completo, which is like a Chilean style hot dog. The reason
why they say it’s a complete feel like normal hot dog usually just bread, sausage, and some sauces.
That’s it. But the Chilean kind of elevated, so they added more ingredients like tomato,
onions, and all kinds of other stuff inside. So they call it a completo. So after lunch we just
drove all day to the town of Villarica. I think it was around 9 to 10 hours and the road was
really long. So by the time we arrived we were so exhausted and honestly along the way we just
keep ourselves entertained. But otherwise nothing much really happened that day. So we just decided
to skip over this part. And at last we finally arrived at around 10 p.m. Grabbed some fried
chicken from KFC and went straight to bed. Good morning guys. It’s our transition to the
next day and yesterday the drive was super long. We arrived was super super tired and it was super
dark. We just quickly eat KFC chicken that we bought yesterday and immedately go sleep. So today
morning we woke up and because you know yesterday we arrived at night and I didn’t see the view
from our window but I wake up like wow. I will show you now. Guys, look at this view. It’s almost
like I’m looking Mount Fujino in Japan. I know. And Justin told me that we’re going to climb to
this volcano tomorrow. We’re going to go to the very top of that point. I don’t want to go there.
It looks so looks so snowy. It looks so scary. I’ve never climbed to the mountain to It’s not
a mountain. It’s an active volcano. It is the most active volcano in Chile. It last erupted
in 2015. So 10 years ago. Also forgot to tell you where we are now. We actually in the town of
Villarica, which is an active volcano, you can say like town that the community has rebuilt for all these
10 years since the last eruption. And you can see many of these houses here from the window. They
all like wooden lodges. Even in our room here, everything is made by wood. This is our bedroom.
We sleep here. It was so cozy, a little bit cold because the heateris on the first floor and we
didn’t on it. I will show you why. This is second room. And let’s go to the first floor. By the way,
next door there’s another house. So that’s why every time I walk here, you can actually clearly
hear what they’re doing. Exactly. That’s why I need to be super quiet. This is the first floor.
Ta. Rustic style. So wood style. Also, this right here is a gas oven. It actually took us a while
to figure out how to turn it on yesterday cuz it’s so ancient, you know. Yeah. And you can see the
fire is right here. It’s kind of dangerous. No. Yeah. It’s outside. I thought usually there is
at least like a tempered glass and inside there’ll be fire. Exactly. There’s the ignition yesterday we
had to tak tak tak tak. Yeah. My first time seeing this in my life to be honest. So yesterday
because we drove for 9 hours. Today is going to be rewarding. We’re going to go to check out some
hot springs because we’re in the volcanic region, right? So there are a lot of natural hot springs
around this region. So we’re going to drive to one. Wow. I love hot springs. Yeah. especially it is so cold now. And also because tomorrow we’re going to hike on top of this this
right this volcano. So then today we’re going to just relax our muscles. Get ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we’re going to be too relaxed. So we’re like so hard to climb. Anyway, let’s go get
ready. Hey guys, Justin from the future here. As you can probably guess it already, I’m now
back home in Australia, just chilling, resting, and preparing for our next trip. I think when it
comes to planning, I always consider myself more of an efficient planner just because I like
to plan things way ahead of time. And for me, staying connected in new country is probably the
most important thing. And I really like to have internet immediately when I arrive. So that’s why
we always use eim. So this time we actually tried using nomad eim. And I really like that data
plans are so affordable. Some of the plans even start from $1.10 per gigabyte, which is some of the
most competitive rates out there. And they always have really good promo codes as well for you to
save even more. I know travel season is coming up. So we’ve got a huge discount for you guys as
well. So stay tuned until the end of this. I like that there are so many different plan options in
over 200 plus destinations. whether it’s different duration, regional plans, global plans, and some
countries even have unlimited data. And also a quick life hack, you can share hotspot between
your devices. So, it’s really handy when you’re traveling as a couple or family. And if you want
to get familiar or test out how it works first, Nomad eSIM actually lets you test with one
free GB for 3 days trial. But to be honest, setting up itself is actually very straightforward
and simple. It takes less than 5 minutes. You can follow the step-by-step guide and install the
before you even fly. So the moment when you land, you’re instantly connected. So, if you’re
travelling soon and you’re looking for a good value, fast and reliable eSIM, I would
highly recommend checking out Nomad EIM. You can use our code Justin and Alina to get 22%
off on any data plans, which you can even use it on any data plans that are already on sale.
Now, let’s get back to the video. Okay, so first thing first, how we go to
eat. Going to eat now. So hungry. Yesterday when we came to this town it was
all dark and we couldn’t see nothing. But after that driving past here today we actually see a lot
of wooden houses. It looks authentic. This is like a small town. There’s in the middle just like a
something similar to Sakura. Looks so pretty. No, so pink. It’s so random. But at the same time it
actually fits perfectly in this town. I love it. It’s so pretty. We took a little walk around
the town soaking in the chilling atmosphere and watching how local people live. And then
we had breakfast at a cafe and set off for the hot spring which is about 20 minutes away from the
city. We already came back to our car and this woman she going to collect now money for the
parking. Let’s see how much we need to pay. $860. $8, but we stayed 1 hour only 80 cents. No way. 860. What? That’s like 80 cents for parking.
That’s amazing. That’s so cheap. I love this kind of organisation, you know. Very organised. Yeah.
Let’s go hot spring. I just want to swim. Enjoy. Yeah. In this weather. Yeah. sink into hot hot hot
water. Is this the first natural hot spring we’ve ever been to? Like natural natural volcano
like hot spring. I think so. Okay. Yeah, that’s something special. Can you quickly show Can you
quickly show quickly show? I can’t believe like everything here. It’s this kind of I don’t even
want to describe it Alpine style building. This is a supermarket guys. Can you believe it?
Wow. It’s in so traditional… and all of these look at these all these shops, gear shops, clothing
they all with this kind of alpine style. Do you think it’s like a chilean style like this
or they just built for for tourist? Nah, I think it’s Chile style. I think this is the Patagonia
style, you know. Wow. Yeah. So, for the rest of this year in Patagonia, I think we’re going to see
a lot of this kind of unique wooden bult houses. Looks like we’re here. So, by no means there
are so many hot springs places around this region of Pucon, but the one that we chose is this
one. Termas Quimey-Co. I like that these hot springs surrounded by so much greeneries, you know,
everywhere. It’s like you’re in a forest and it’s this tranquil peaceful environment. Okay,
this is our hop swimming. We have one pool, second pool outdoor and five pools indoor. Okay.
And the water is from here from the here. And the temperature is 36 and 39°. We change the water all
the day to keep the temperature. We don’t heatthe water. Okay. It’s natural. This is like probably
the part of the trip that we look forward to the most. Yeah. The hot spring part. Yes. Because when
Justin planned this trip uh in Chile, he’s like, “Oh, there is a lot of hot spring.” And he showed
me like, “Wow, I want to go there.” They said they open until 7:30. And what are we going to do for
the rest of today? Spend the whole day here. And I really like I think the primary reason why
I chose this hot spring is because we completely surrounded by nature, mountains, pine trees, and
river. And they also said that you actually can jump into this cold river after a hot spring.
Yeah. See, right in front. Ooh, looks so cold. Wow. So peaceful here, baby. I don’t
even want to be loud in this place cuz like you can even do massage here.
So Okay, this is yours. All right, this for you. See you later. All right,
so cold outdoor. So cold. Go faster. Go faster. So cold outside. I want to
go jump into the hot water already. Wow, look at this. Like a Japanese Onsen. Feels
like that’s amazing. Is it hot? Oh, yes. So hot. Let’s do it. I’m going first because Justin is going to
fly a drone now. Ah, guys. Burning. It’s burning. It’s burning. They said it’s from 36 to 39°. Feels
like it’s 45. Oh, my feet are burning. Doesn’t feel like I’m enjoying right. Justin is flying
a drone. It even have very hot. You know sometimes people going to Japan to this kind of onsen enjoy
Japanese atmosphere, wooden houses and everything. Why you go to Japan? When there’s Chile. Look at
this. Even music is like super Asian. Love it. How is it? Amazing. Amazing. Let’s go. Oh my god. Oh my god. So hot. Let’s
do it. Oh my goodness. It’s so hot. So relaxing. I can just
go inside already. Goodbye. Bye-bye. This is paradise. All that driving yesterday
was worth it. Visiting Chile’s hot springs isn’t just relaxing, but it’s actually super good
for you. The warm volcanic water helps your body unwind after a long trip, and it boosts
circulation. Plus, all the natural minerals are quite good for your skin, and it helps
melt away any stress you have, so you walk out feeling like a completely new person. Okay, so
now we’re going to another spa, a hot spring. It’s a outside outdoor hotring. I think this is the
one that I’m going to go in. And then after that, I’m going to go take a quick dip, jump into
the river. In the river. Mhm. Yeah. And because we’re already like kind of heated so that’s why we
feel so nice outside and it’s not cold anymore. At Termas Quimey-Co there are not only cozy in the pools
but also a few beautiful one outside surrounded by nature. It is beautiful, quiet and almost
completely empty and barely anyone even knows about this place and it’s exactly what made us
fall in love with it. Hot spring number one, spot number two. I think there is only like a
few people here in the whole hot spring area and there are some sunbenches there. Yeah, I
think people also come here during summer time. So like they could do hot spring
and have to lie down under the sun. Oh yeah. Oh, the outdoor one is even better than the indoor
one. I know. Cuz like when you’re indoor, you can’t really see the nature here. You can
just breathe around. And I do really hope that You guys if you ever come to the side of
Chile, definitely check out this hot spring just because the setting of this hot spring is what
differentiates it from the other places is that it’s right along the river. So that’s why people
actually like to get a dip into the hot spring and after that go to the other side and dip in the
river and that’s exactly what I’m going to do now. So after soaking in the hot water eventually
even jump into the icy river and that mix of hot and cold really makes your whole body wakes up and
it’s really great for your circulation. It boosts your energy and honestly it just makes you feel
so alive. That was crazy cold guys. It’s almost like my IQ suddenly increased 200 now I can talk
way faster I think. Oh, no wonder why just now it was slow. This is like Antarctica. When I say
Antarctica, it’s really where polar bear lives, you know, like they just jump into it, and now I
become more alive. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I just going to go into hot water
now. Go, go, go. Back to being super go. After super relaxing hot spa, I feel so
jelly. And maybe because our body’s heated up already, so I don’t even feel cold
at all. It’s just so nice here. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait. Let me show you something first. You hold this. No. No. Fine.
Don’t even try to eat without me. Okay. No. So, next up today, we’re
going to go to the town of Pucon, which is the closest town here. And
they call it the adventure capital of Chile just because usually you can do a lot of
things like canyonering, kayaking in a river, also of course hiking the famous Villarica volcano
which is what we’re going to do tomorrow. We’re trying to find now for Justin sunglasses
because tomorrow, as we said, we’re going to climb into volcano in this town. Now we’re walking
here. It looks so cozy like all shops here everything around so modern. The architecture
in Pucon really surprises us because it feels almost like a little alpine town. As you can see
here, most buildings are made of wooden stones with steep roofs, big windows, and cozy fireplaces.
So, it gives this whole place a warm mountain vibe. Kind of like Switzerland, but with a South
American twist. The vibe is completely different to Santiago. And I love it. I love it. Maybe if
we don’t go to Santiago and immediately arrive to this kind of town, it won’t ruin our expectation because of losing phone
and everything. See, even the road signs here, it has the Pucon volcano marking. Cute aesthetic
look. Mhm. And also here’s so many street dogs everywhere. They’re so fluffy and they’re just
walking around so casually. And you can see this is full cafe just it’s called work cafe. You can
go there and work. It’s like for digital nomads. See inside this cafe everything created for people
to work for us. It’s your nomad paradise. Yeah, we love to go this kind of cafe and it’s so rare
to find in uh some remote town usually like in Argentina it’s like almost every town it’s like
a completely village you know you you you will rarely find some good cafe but here everything is
so modern I didn’t expect to chill be like this I told you I thought it’s going to be like a super
remote no internet impressive just now we went to this market it’s like a woman’s shop but I offer
Justin sunglasses because we couldn’t find anything and you need sunglasses tomorrow. It’s okay if
it’s woman’s shop. Any sunglasses is good $6 just for tomorrow. No, I rather wear the broken
sunglasses at the office or something. I know. Look at this. What is this? Leopard. Okay.
You want a red? I’ll find something better. This can’t too small for me though. Let’s go eat now then. For grandma, it’s okay.
Just for one day. You just need to protect your eyes. That’s it. No. Yes. Good morning to
another day. Now, it’s currently 500 a.m. in the morning. Today, we’re going to do the volcanic
hike and it’s going to be a challenging hike. It’s going to be around 5 hours just to go up to
the snowy peak that we saw yesterday. So, because they’ll provide a lot of different clothing,
they’ll provide an outer layer that should be super warm and waterproof. And also, they said
they’ll provide helmets and also shoes. So, all we have to do is prepare under layers. So,
I’ve got a few layers down here as well. And another few layers. I’m not sure how warm that
jacket is. Also, Alina probably wear like three layers here. I wear this layer, this layer,
and also this layer. I know that today we are actually going with a tour called Zenit Travels
just because it’s a company that I found online. They have probably the most reputable tours
to this volcano. And I saw that in our group there are like seven people in total including
us. So it’s going to be a small group. I just hope that when we reach the summit, it will all
be worth it. And I know that some people say the best part is actually start sliding down
because we’re not going to hike back down all the way. We’re actually going to have something
they’re going to give something plastic and we’re going to lie down on and we will slide
all the way down to the bottom. So, they give us shoes. They give us extra
pants under layer and the whole backpack. This damn huge so heavy. I don’t even know
how I’m going to carry this up. It’s like low. I’m going to be so tired after 5 hours. And
also, they give us this jacket and helmet. See, we transferred everything from the backpack
to this bigger backpack which is waterproof, I think. And we also brought two liters of water
with us. I think it’s a requirement. Mounted a GoPro in front. Yeah. Going to film like this. Try
to. How are you? I’m nervous. You’ll be fine. At first, I’m carrying so heavy thing on top of the
mountains for hike for 5 hours. You’ll be fine. Yeah. Usually gives me everything. There is no
toilet. Yeah, it’s going to be fun. And they said take 2 liters of water. I’m like why? There
is no toilet. Why do I need this water? Maybe it’s like keep going up. So that’s why it will make
you dehydrate. Also so dry up there. You know if your life too boring, find a boyfriend like
a Justin. Okay, let’s go. Everyone’s waiting. I don’t know if you guys have the same problem
as I do, but my t-shirts always get really smelly after one time use. And it’s very frustrating,
especially around this area because there’s no air circulation and it traps the bacteria because
it’s not breathable. And this is even when I’m sitting still like in a cafe or in a long flight.
And even deodorant doesn’t help. And this is why you always see me bring one stack of t-shirt for
one time use and I have to do laundry almost every week. But what if I tell you there is a brand out
there that you can wear many times. You never have to wash it and it won’t smell at all. Let me
introduce you to the sponsor of today’s video, Unbound Marino. And I’m seriously not lying at all
because the property of marino wool is naturally antibacterial and odor resistant, which means
few washes and less laundryies when you travel. It is also an all around clothing because it
regulates your temperature. And marino wool can be both breathable and also helps you insulate.
For example, when we hiked the volcano this time, I was using this as an under layer. So, it keeps
me warm when I was hiking up. And even after the hike, it stays fresh without strong odo. Neck
clothing is literally designed for you to have one shirt for all kinds of occasions. So, you pack less
and you save a lot of space in luggage. It’s also super fast drying. I’m not too sure if you can
see it behind me. It’s raining really heavily. So, if I go out and I come back completely soaked,
it’s probably going to get dried within 30 minutes. Unbound Merino has got something really
big coming up for Cyber Week. So you might want to stay tuned for that, and trust me it’s going
to be worth the wait. So if you want a piece of clothing that fits in all kinds of scenario,
don’t miss this opportunity and check out Unbound Merino. As usual, link in description. Now let’s
get back to the video. By the way, this volcano it is active volcano means there is active lava or
like volcanic activities happening inside. It’s not a dominant sleeping one. It is the one that
wakes up. The last time it erupted was 2015. Oh, wait. 2005, sorry. 2005. Oh, wait. No, it’s 2015.
The last time 10 years ago. Oh, no. That’s fine. I thought you said 1,985 something. What? I said
this five times already. Alina never listens to me when I talk about facts. Looks like everyone has
equipped with some gear already. So, you can see this is the standard expedition outfit. We’ve got
the outer layer that they provide, the jacket, and inside Alina wear a few layers already, few layers
of pants. And this is the hiking boots that they provide as well. Also, they give us a waterproof
backpack inside with all the equipments that we need, including I think like a sliding board later
for going down. Or if you need to go down first, I can just roll. I need roll. You see me rolling.
Wait, easy. And actually looking up like this, it doesn’t feel that far. It feels so far. I feel
so damn far. This for going up. for going up and going down as well or no? Yeah, for control for
sliding. For sliding. That’s going to be fun. Alina before the hike. It’s such an interesting
experience that we are hiking on. These are frost like slippery frost. So like everything feels a
little bit slippery, but luckily our shoes are very stable. They said just now that we’re going
to come back only around 5:00 p.m. You understand? Now it’s around 700 a.m. in the morning. Are we
sliding down?Well, see, so pretty around here. It’s like we’re in a snowy forest full
of greeneries and white blanket snow on top. So, we finished the first lake of kind of a hike
to the foot of this volcano, but you can see we barely even hike any of that up. We’re just at a
starting point and we’ve already all warmed up. I think I forgot all my layers inside and just leave
myself with this jacket and my Unbound Merino Wow. So beautiful. Yeah. How many times have you
hiked this mountain? In my life, maybe 300 times. 300 times. Yeah, maybe. Oh my goodness. For
work and for peace. Yeah. And in summer we climb every day. Wow. Every day to the top. Yeah.
Well, see guys, I’m so focused with talking to our guys. See Alina, she’s already there. What the
hell? She walks so fast when I got distracted. Now it’s time to catch up. Alina is always like this.
She would complain in the first few seconds and later on walk super fast and caught me off guard.
Yep. Typical Alina. I know it’s hard for her. So, I’m going to try my best to motivate her as
well. Well, I want to say you hike so damn fast because I want to hike faster. So,
the faster we go, the faster we come back, right? With this mentality, you go up there. Time
for some refreshments. We are just at the base and now I think it’s where the incline really starts.
So the guy actually told us to apply sunscreen, wear all the sunglasses because the sun
reflection on the snow is really harsh on the eyes. So that’s why we have to wear sunglasses.
The best moment. What is the best moment? Food. So now we’re putting on something called crampons, which is to mount it under our shoes. And it’s
got some spike that gives us some grip on the snow. I think the the snow it’s more solid.
So that’s why it’s a lot slippery. That’s why I’m going to mount these things on top of
shoes. Start moving here. Walking. Try to keep a distance a little bit between your feet.
Okay. Cuz I was going to kick myself. Okay. See, look at this. These are crampons Crazy.
Look like a Terminator. Oh, like a transformer. Transformer. See, like these shoes, they have
a lot of spikes on it. So, it helps better grip because from this part, it’s going to be really
slippery. All the snow has been solidified. So, it’s just really slippery here. For me, it looks
like we already walked kind of half the way, but turns out it’s not. We just walked 30
minutes. Still have 4 and 1/2 hour. See, the peak is just there. It felt really easy,
but actually it you hike really slow on these slippery slopes. And I’m sure these would give
a lot of grip. The guy just now was like, “Uh, don’t kick anyone. that’sfor Alina.” And this is
where the steep ascent begins because the slope we’re about to climb can get really slippery.
Like one round step, you’re literally sliding all the way down. So before we start, the guide
show us what to do if that happens. Basically, a little safety demo. So to my understanding, if
you start sliding, just ditch the pole because it’s useless at that point. And just grab the ice
axe with both your hands, roll into your stomach, and use all your strength to dig it into the
snow to stop yourself. Each of us got to turn to practice just in case if we ever actually need
to do it for real. From here on, we pretty much just follow our guide in a straight line, walking
in that zigzaggy pattern because apparently it’s easier on your knees that way. At this point, it
becomes both a mental and physical battle. You can literally see the peak right in front of you.
And it doesn’t even look that far. But somehow it feels like an eternity to reach that. Like you’re
walking forever and you’re not getting any closer. You need a helicopter. Well, looks like she’s
dead. I’m not going to move anymore. You staying here? Yeah. I don’t know. You stay here, guys.
We’re only halfway. 1,900 m. You can do it. Okay, guys. We arrived to the peak. See, only four
of us survive. One, two, three, four. Yeah, the rest of the people didn’t make it. They’re down
there. They’re down there. Aiyah so useless. Uh oh wait, too fast. You say it’s too fast. Just
kidding cuz we are the one who who didn’t make it to the top. So now we around halfway. Halfway
and it was so damn tired. I’m tired. Justin Justin I think he’s fine, but he’s just saying that his
shoes are making his painful also his wet. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz I think some of the water must have got
into the shoes. So my I my toes is like frozen inside. So I’m just trying to stretch it right
now anyway. So like that’s one. And secondly, even though I have the stamina to go up,
I think go all the way up. But it’s a bit strange cuz my boots keep scratching the back
and like blisters. So it’s a little bit painful every step that I go. So since Alina is not
doing anymore, so I might as well join her, I guess. Yes. The guy said it’s actually unnecessary to go up. He didn’t say that. He said he said he said no necessary no
necessary something. I said okay no necessary no it’s asked if you could decide whether it’s
necessary to go up necessary to go up. He didn’t say that. I said okay. I said What’s up there?
Do we see lava? He said no. I said Okay what’s up there? He said little bit more view like
this. I said okay then I’ll look from here. So, now we’re going to slide from here
like this. See, we’ve got a diaper, special pants. Special pants. And we got this board.
Yeah. And we’re ready. I think I’m losing my mind. How’s it fun? I wish it’s faster. Faster. Don’t
use this. Will be so fast. Which one? This. Yeah, but scary. But you wish it’s faster. I want
even faster. Okay, next time I won’t use this. This is the best part of this
whole adventure. Like it like like subscribe to our channel. Yeah.
Follow him. Let’s go. Let’s go. Yeah. Up. Legs up. Legs up. Legs up. So, now we are sliding
down already around like 30 minutes, maybe. It’s so fun. It’s so hot. Uh they
give us this thing to we can stop ourel but to be honest it’s not that fast. You can
see it’s not fast at all. But it’s really fun. This is the best part of this
activity. Okay. Last chance. All right. All right. And make sure you go fast this
one. Yeah. Go. Don’t break. Don’t break. Just now I slide slide slide. Oops. Flip around.
Your bum. Okay. My bum. Okay. Cuz like that’s where you hit it . No, I think because my
leg was hit and I flipped. You flip in front, right? It was fun. It was fun.
Yeah, that was fun. I thought I was gonna just go full throttle and then just like go all the
way down without stopping at all. We’re breaking, but I got scared. I didn’t break until I Oh, yeah.
I wish I didn’t break, too. So, now we’re just going to continue and walk back to the car. And I
think that’s it for this episode. I think it’s a very eventful episode. just even though it didn’t
make it to the top, you know, but still I thought it was such a good experience. Actually, after
this experience, I don’t mind going to and doing like snowboarding to learn because it’s really fun
to play with snow. Yeah. Okay. Thank you guys for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe, put like and
comments and see you guys next episode. Bye-bye.

One of the biggest reasons we came to South America was to finally explore Patagonia, the stunning region shared between Chile and Argentina, known for its glaciers, volcanoes, and snowy mountains. In this episode, we start our Chile travel journey in Santiago, then make our way down to Pucón to visit the natural hot springs and take on the active Villarica Volcano hike. Join us as we share our first impressions of Chile and what it’s really like to travel through this part of South America.

Welcome to Chile! We hope you truly enjoy your trip through the most beautiful country in the world. Many cities and towns in Southern Chile feature architecture inherited from the German settlers, who also influenced the pastry-making and livestock industry. This is why these Southern Chilean towns have such a distinctive style
Welcome to Santiago, Chile this weekend to shows those amazing places everywhere on the streets in peace November of 2025❤❤❤❤Thanks you so much for this great video today’s from Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱 2025❤❤❤

The good thing is that in that area there are 10 to 15 internationally renowned hot spring resorts, all surrounded by beautiful forests and some with a direct view of the volcano
WE HAVE THE FASTER INTERNET IN AMERICA AND SECOND IN THE WORLD
ALINA, JERE IN CHILE NOT USING USD.
USING $CLP
USING $CHILEAN PESOS
Villarica and Pucón have that appearance due to german settlers who began building in that rustic style. The community there decided to maintain that style in all new buildings. If you go further south to Osorno, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, etc. the german style is even more evident.
Wow! Watched it in Canada, and Chile natural Hot Springs blew me away! The all expedition feels very Japan!
Chile is just how is Supposed To Look Like
That is crazy to climb that much 45 degree slope for 5 hours.
Should have taken the ski lift.
Hermoso video… Bienvenidos a Chile 🇨🇱…
Y recuerden Chile es el país más moderno y desarrollado de América Latina… Argentina es un país grande, pero está muy atrasado en comparación a Chile, las carreteras en Argentina son un verdadero desastre, y Chile tiene las carreteras y autopistas más modernas de toda América Latina…🇨🇱🇨🇱👌👍👌
Nice you finally release the video of chile! so good you enjoy chile
deberias recorrer la ruta 7 sur bro , te encantara!! buen video
Que bonita pareja el sur es lo más hermoso 👌🔥🔥🔥
I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying your time in Chile! There is truly so much more to explore here—the country is full of incredible landscapes and hidden gems. Wishing you all the very best!
P.S. Could you please share the playlist of songs you used in the video? I absolutely loved the music!
Im from Chile and Im here to learn english haha
860 pesos is less than a dollar.
alina reminds of a chilean actress name "monica godoy" shes been in many tv series haha.. love the vlog in chile!
I wish you a pleasant stay in my country 🇨🇱🫂
Why not?
Whats happen with the rest of Argentina travel?
Sucks that you got your phone snatched, but glad that it didn't spoil the rest of the journey, hopefully you had a blast in Chile and the phone was just a minor inconvenience. 🙁
welcome
There are no Muslims in Chile, we're not like Europe 😂😂
I was so inspired to find Villarrica so beautiful. I have a friend there that I'll visit. Beautiful video and couple, blessings to you both.
muy bueno cuando dijo que las ciudades en argentina eran aldeas jajajaja
Bienvenidos 🍷
I grew up with those gas radiation heaters and anyways used to struggle almost everytime when igniting it haha. Great video, sucks that you got the phone stolen. and such a cute couple
dont say that out loud , people from argentina likes to believe they are the nicest and better part of south america … if you tell them you like chile better than argentina they wont forget you
I would love to visit Chile, greetings from Chile
Gomgratulatioms and enjoy patagonia ,wild and pure land.
I’m from Chile and your girlfriend is very similar to my ex 😂 wth
que triste que les hayan robado el telefono, no voy a negar que lo que dicen es real respecto a los robos y en especial de telefonos los cuales hay que decirlo, normalmente son extranjeros caribeños, es lamentable que suceda esto, espero que se arregle con los nuevos cambios politicos a por venir, por otro lado, me alegra que esto no les haya afectado su viaje ni su expectativas de chile, espero disfruten de chile y tengan bonitos recuerdos
Cuándo se van?
Estoy super preocupado si les gusta mi país ó no.😅 (sarcasmo) Váyanse luego, por favor. Yo no necesito ni su venia ni su aceptación.
Para los gringos, europeos, mejicanos y argentinos Chile es poco atractivo. Jamás se imaginarían lo lindo que es Chile y por desconocimiento ó simplemente por desinterés piensan en un país feo, seco y tercer mundo. Para estos países somos indios viviendo en rucas. Para los asiáticos es lo mismo. Les quiero pedir a todos los chilenos que no nos importe lo que piensan los extranjeros de nuestro país. Si ellos piensan que es hermoso tampoco nos debe importar. Debemos ser pesados como los franceses, que ya están cansados de tanto turista de mierda.
Welcome to Chile ❤🎉
DID YOU KNOW CHILE'S SPEED INTERNET IS RATED 3RD PLACE IN THE WORLD?
si se hubieran estacionado un poquito lejos tal vez les habría salido gratis ajajaj pero si yo concuerdo con Alina que es un robo
MARINO SHIRTS AT 90 DOLLARS EACH….🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi! So to explain the reason why Villarrica architecture style (on minute @8:06), like so many other southern cities and towns of Chile is due to early-mid 19th century (mostly) German immigration so adopting a bit of a Bavarian look.
16:39 Talking about the internet. Fun fact: Chile has one of the fastest internet in the world. Actually the fastest in the western hemisphere. (Source: Speedtest by Ookla global ranking)
south of chile is the best part of chile!!! ENJOY OWN COUNTRY, YOURE WELCOME!! GODBLESS
