Hallo all of you!
We are in Chile now! Exactly in Valparaiso at the coast near Santiago de Chile.
We crossed the border to Chile via a pass in the andes. The frontier lies in an altitude of about 3.900m, more or less exactly in the middle of the andes. before crossing the border we spent a few more days on the argentinian side, in "Uspallata" -> which we ourselves pronounced like:"Uspajata" but the argentinians pronounce like: "schpaschata"... a fact which became especially interesting at the moment we wanted to buy the bustickets, asked whether this bus in front of us would be the right bus to take, or if we are already there or not, if we should get off the bus here :-) .... but it was worth the effort!
The valley is really wonderful! In the background there were the andes, with a bit of snow on it´s mountain tops and in the foreground the green valley with trees covered with yellow leaves (here it´s already autumn) ... and a perfectly blue sky. The air was rather cold but with the sun it was agreable. One day we did a trip to a viewpoint exactly at the border between Chile and Argentinia (altitude: 4.100m) with an incredible view both into vallys in chile and argentinia. And another day we did a "horse riding excursion" through the incredible scenery of the valley.
Two perfect days, really. :-)
We send you best regards, hope you are all well!
