Lake Caraburga. Beautiful!! It is surrounded by green lush mountains and the water was so warm. The kids enjoyed the swimming. I enjoyed the nice view and we all enjoyed being with family.
Madison is always ready to pose.

Did I forget to mention there was a volcano? Volcano Villarrica
What a view!!!
By Pucon we did a little off roading!!!
And hanging around
and a little miniature golf
Outside of Villarrica we did a little canopy (zip line) fun...just me and jake.
And played at another lake!!!
AT the hot springs of Liquine Carlos did a little fishing
The kids picked mora.... which is wild black berry...it is so good.. I am convinced to grow some in my backyard...in chile it is all along the mountain sides and the sides of the roads in the south...we picked so much!!!
These hot springs were a little different.. they did have swimming pools- more like big hot tubs...but we found a sweet spot outside the area on the river itself.....a little pool right along the river with hot water pouring into in and then filtering back out into the river...it was so awesome.
Park Lota was another spot...a big park full of all kids of plants found in chile and right along the shore....very pretty....and very windy!!!!
also by the park was an educational museam...here are the kids making big bubbles around them!!
WE also went down an old closed down coal mine...not from danger...just from bad business... it was pretty interesting. Not a job I would ever want.. the miners had to walk down 2 hours each day to get to work and then 2 hours back up...they only got paid for the 8 hours down in the mine....nothing for the other 4 hours getting to and from... You can see from Jacob light..if it wasn't on it is very dark....
After each day....we ended with a family game of UNO ATTACK!!!
It was a great time and filled with lots of memories....
