The deformed troll in the forest
Many societies seem to have a mythological ogre-like creature in their cultural histories. But none seems as scary as the deformed dwarf of Chiloe.
Chile
The funeral crasher
Chiloe is like a world unto its own, a literal island in the heart of Chile. And it’s the churches of this region which are the pride and joy.
The beach in the mountains
A beach in the middle of the mountains, a huge volcano challenging you to climb it, and dozens of hippie cafes. This is life in Pucon, Chile.
Turtle versus the volcano
It was a tough climb through snow and across volcanic rocks. At times the pain got too much. But imagining the summit of the volcano kept me going.
Ye olde abandoned mining town
The abandoned mining town of Sewell, high in the Andes of Chile, is an eerie place. Now heritage-protected, it is a reminder of the hard lives many men had.
The panoramic kaleidoscope
The cultural capital of Chile in Valparaiso is one huge explosion of colour. It’s a city you can explore for days and getting lost here is a pleasure!
