Day 610 – South America – Chile [Los Lagos to Panguipulli]

22/12/21

42.5km

  From Los Robles (Chile) to Panguipulli (Chile)

South America

Chile is getting really hot! Beautiful run towards the lake and the volcanoes again

Morning landscapes

I think I need to rethink my start times and slowly move to much earlier runs. The sun rises around 6:20am, so there is plenty of room for improvement. Running into the afternoon does not really matter when the weather is cool. But with a blazing sun (above 30 Celsius today) it makes a big difference. Sunset is around 9:30pm over here, it’s easy to enjoy the evening and go to bed later than I am used to. Work in progress!

Running across the San Pedro river

Today was a directional no-brainer. I ran on the T39 the whole way. A country road which was quiet in the morning then got busy with trucks. I ran as close to the edge of the road as I could. And I think it is causing some tension in my ankles. The road is quite slanted / inclined to one side and it makes my landing quite different from what my feet are used to. I’ll get used to it I’m sure.

Volcano Shoshuhenco

Tonight we stay in Panguipulli, a town set by the lake of the same name, with stunning views on the volcanos – and also some other snow capped summits in the background. Panguipulli’s first inhabitants were the Mapuches, Chile’s indegnous people. The place is very green and nature looks extremely well preserved. We have not seen any big resorts or hotels. Most of the houses are wooden made, one or two storeys – none of the eyesores we are used to seeing in touristy areas.
