ONCA (Jungle Animal Rescue)

Patagonia
With the program having ended, it was time to decide how to start the second half of the South American adventure. After some very minimal research and a general idea of wanting to see Patagonia, I decided to hitchhike the Carretera Austral - the single, mostly dirt road in southern Chile that connects most of the rural towns of Chilean Patagonia.
I arrived to Chaitén in the beginning of January, home of Parque Pumalin - the first major national park of Patagonia, founded by the creator of the North Face, Douglas Tompkins. Parque Pumalin is a wet, densely vegetated area that somehow boasts both giant, tropical plants and hidden mountain glaciers. Who says you can't have it all??
