The small coastal town was in full swing for the weekend as it is the best surf spot in the country and on
e of the
most popular beach resorts for Chilean tourists.
It was more how you expect South America to be- dirt roads, donkeys, countless shrines, tacky funfairs and lots of exciting looking food.
We spent a week relaxing at friendly Jose's house, cooking with another family, enjoying enormous BBQs with plenty of rum and trying to understand the fantastically entertaining Chilean Spanish.
We visited the huge salt flats, punta de lobos surf spot and generally enjoyed soaking it all in.
A week later we hitchhiked to Santaigo (very common practice here) and spent the night in the city before heading over the Andes back to Argentina just in time to miss the earthquake.
