Cachaqua Chile, Island of the Penguinos






So today my roommate Amanda had the excellent idea of heading about an hour north on a Micro (small bus) to this coastal town called Cachagua. Apparently it has a large population of Humboldt Peguins, a beautiful beach etc. There were 6 of us along for this day trip. We head to the bus stop to catch a Micro and we finally get on the right one but after an hour and a half of circling neighborhoods and headed in sort of the right direction we wonder why we haven't arrived...After it is too late, we realize we have missed our stop, Whoops! Oh well, we will just get off at the next beach down, grab a bite to eat and them catch a bus back, easy as that right....haha not really. We end up getting off in the middle of no where but manage to find an empanda place to have lunch. We relax and have lunch in this funky place that seems like a ship. We then go out to wait for the bus, an hour and some later and a lot of pointless pics, we manage to get on a bus to where we were ACTUALLY trying to go! We finally arrive in Cachagua, and I assume from the pictures you can all tell how amazing it truly was! Anyways, today was an amazing day trip but at 5am tomorrow morning I am off to Patagonia! I am a bit nervous right now...but as soon as I get there and meet up with Crystal I will be fine! Can't wait to update you all with beautiful pictures from Patagonia! Chao!
