		<description><![CDATA[It was not much more than a century ago that, thanks to a bar in San Francisco's Bank Exchange, the then little-known national spirit of Peru started making an impact on the international stage. Since then, due to under-appreciation by Peruvians, Chile sneakily claimed ownership of the Pisco brand, making and exporting a greatly inferior mass-produced imitation product that had run the spirit's reputation abroad into the ground. For many outside Chile, Pisco was now considered junk.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not far from the village of Surco and some way from the city of Lima was the fishing village of Barranco. Time passed and Barranco became a small town popular with Lima's elite - many of whom decided to build large lavish houses there.

For a while Barranco was named the City of Windmills as each home in the area had a windmill on its property to pump water from wells. More time passed and Barranco became a popular seaside resort coping with an influx of rich Limeños and foreigners building country homes there. Many of the foreigners at this time, around the late 1700's, were British and German. Still, despite increased development into the 1800's the town was an calm oasis in the desert, with sufficient supplies of water and trees to be seen everywhere. It was peaceful - but not for long.]]></description>

We were able to take a bus from Iquique to Arica easily and had a good journey. The 4 hours on the bus were interesting as we spent them watching hundreds of tornadoes sweeping through the distant desert. I tried to get them on camera but they just wouldn't turn out. The two photos attached to this entry are the best I could do, and I needed to turn up the contrast to get to see anything, but they still don't give a feeling for how it really looked.]]></description>

La Tirana is named after an Inca princess Huillac Ñusca. In 1535 Diego de Almagro, a Spanish conquistador, marched south from Cusco to conquer Chile. Only 500 Spaniards where willing to go with him to conquer these lands that they thought would be poor. So Diego de Almagro took with him ten thousand conquered Incas including the Inca princess and an Inca Prince. The party included, unknown to Almagro, a number of highly trained Wilkas (Inca Warriors) from the Inca Royal Army.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The northern-most region of Chile is a land of barren rock and the driest desert in the world. One that has no recorded rainfall - ever. This inhospitable region is huge, towns and cities are hundreds of kilometres apart.

The entire region was once Peruvian and Bolivian territory until nitrates were discovered that could be exported at great value - so much value that Chile decided they wanted it and took it in the War of the Pacific, making themselves rich and subjecting Bolivia to poverty and landlocked status. The Chileans, who did not have the expertise to extract the nitrate, called on British and German companies to run the mines. The cities in the region grew when the mining towns were abandoned when the industry collapsed on the German invention of synthetic nitrates during WWI. Herein lays Iquique's history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cold Chiloé weather and lack of money prompted us to start the return to the north. To do so we made a stop of in the southern vacation spot of Puerto Varas before taking the bus to Santiago and further still.

Puerto Varas is a tourist haven, thousands of Chileans and Argentinians come here each summer to spend some time on the crystal clear lake under the shadow of two looming volcanoes, Orsorno and Calbuco. We came here because we didn't have the time or the will to visit Pucon in the Andes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chonchi was another beautiful old traditional town. It has managed to keep many of its original timber buildings (despite a large fire in 2002). Unfortunately almost all of its palifitos were destroyed in natural disasters. The colourful church is not original, the natural disasters didn't spare it, but it has been restored perfectly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doing anything touristy at this time of year has proven difficult. Most tour operators on the island seems to be completely closed this time of year, which has made it difficult to see some of the best parts of the island. So trying to see as much as we could by taking public transport, we travelled to the Isla Quinchao, to the town of Achao.]]></description>

This city has been destroyed again and again by earthquakes and fires and twice by the Dutch. Despite this Castro still retains its character, as these photos show.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ancud was founded in 1769 as a Spanish stronghold in the region, and after Peruvian independence in 1824 it was the Spanish Crown's last possession in all of South America. The bay is surrounded by forts like the one you can see in the images attached. Spanish Ancud was able to fight off one Free-Chilean attack, but cold and demoralised fled in the face of a second.]]></description>

In the morning we awoke to a city of fog, cold, run-down buildings, graffiti, stray dogs, homelessness and filth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Valdivia, being hundreds of miles south of Santiago and Valparaíso - in this country of unimaginable distances, takes over 10 hours to get to by bus. For this reason we took an overnight bus, which also saved on a hotel room. We were in for a shock upon disembarking the overheated night bus at 7am. Within seconds we were scrambling through our bags for extra fleeces and hoping we would be able to find a hot cup of tea quickly.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our first stop was the Plaza de Armas where our first sight on ascending from the metro was a dead homeless man having prayers said over him by a city official with a bible. Not at all what I expected - the plaza I mean. Sure it was grand, but it was also incredibly dull. It could have been a plaza in any large city anywhere in the world, it has absolutely nothing distinctive. The cathedral too was nothing in comparison to the ones I had seen in Lima. There are dozens of cathedrals in Lima, all of which are better than Santiago´s grandest. Here in the plaza are dozens of Peruvians sitting in the shade hoping some form of work will magically come and find them.
Here though, in the Plaza was were Pedro de Valdivia marked out the new city streets with ropes in 1541 when Santiago was founded. All distances in Chile are measured from here.]]></description>

Each platform has several plasma screen TV´s entertaining passengers with music for the no more than 30 seconds they have to wait for their train, which is easy to fit into because they are larger than ours. Fairs are the same for all destinations and less than $1.]]></description>

I spent probably half the time staring out of the window at the bleak desert half asleep and the other half watching the dozen onboard movies.

Caracol turned out to be more of an agency than a bus service and we ended up travelling with the excellent Chilean company Tas-Choapa - it seems all the buses in Chile are excellent.]]></description>
