People are constantly looking at us like we´re crazy for travelling in late fall, but it definitely has its perks in areas that get overrun by tourists during the summer season. First, we get to feel like we´re doing something unique, even though we may really just be doing it in colder weather. Second, it´s peaceful and natural, and new places to us feel like special discoveries. During our few days in Pucon, Chile, we visited Parque Nacional Huerquehue, a popular summer spot completely void of visitors during our stay. At the lower elevations, we caught the height of autumn color, and higher up a hike through the Chilean Auraucaria forest. The trip ends far from Pucon on a hillside blessed with meadows from fires set by settlers 100 years ago, old ranches, and undeveloped hot springs that nobody seems to venture to at the end of April...

Your picture of the mountain in front of the lake is awesome! Looks like you are still seeing lots of beautiful stuff... although you guys look a little too cold to be in the mountains hiking! Its strange to me since Melissa and I were just in 100+ temperatures here in Jordan!
