Pucon is awesome. There is so much to do here. There´s lakes, rivers, mountains, volcanos. It´s great. The town is great too. It´s just like Jackson Hole, or Aspen, or any other mountainy, outdoorsy, touristy town. Things are expensive, and there´s lots of tourists.
We met a cool dude named Rodrigo, who owns Kayak Pucon. Within seconds of meeting Rodrigo, we ran into LJ Groth and Todd Anderson. We work on the White Salmon with LJ, he works at All Star Rafting. Todd owns a kayaking company in Hood River. What a small world. Rodrigo´s parents own some cabañas just out of town where LJ and Todd were staying. They invited us to sleep on their floor that night. That was nice because I had just chopped my frickin finger off and was not in good shape.
The next day we got our own cabaña there. A nice 4 bedroom. We got a good deal from Rodrigo too.
The view from our cabin is awesome.
Our second night in Pucon, we had a Chilean barbecue. So... what you do is you buy as much meat as you think you could possibly eat and then some, and then you buy some bread and you make an ahí salsa.
I ate so much friggin meat I thougt I was gunna vomit, and then I ate more meat. Ha ha... It was so good though.
SO MUCH MEAT!!
Chillin before the bbq.
Rodrigo and Emma talking to the Swiss dudes.We followed up the bbq by playing Hot Shalaca with the coals. Good times.
Pucon is great. Great people. Great whitewater. Great scenery. I´m loving it.
We went with Ben, Scott and Andy on a couple of their runs. It was really cool. We hiked to a really waterfall, Salto Buey, while setting shuttle for them.
Pucon´s been great so far. Can´t wait to have more fun here.
