Maicolpué

Still going by the recommendations of our American hostel-owning acquaintance, we headed to an almost deserted village on a hillside around a big bay and sandy beaches on the Pacific coast. We again struck lucky with the weather as it’s now autumn here and yet we enjoyed two warm, sunny days.Our cabin is amongst this lot, perched on the hillside.

The local bus dropped us by the beach, we weren’t entirely sure we were in the right place. We then lugged our bags up the hillside on steep tracks and wonky steps following a roughly hand-written map to find a slightly run-down but comfortable cabin with superb views across the ocean. The view from our cabin terrace at sunset. We spent our time paddling, jogging along the beach, clambering around rocks blackberry picking, walking and watching the sunset from our terrace. All very pleasant! Bird on beach
