Sunday - 10/25
We booked a tour to go see Humboldt Pinguinos through our hostal. best decision. ever. we were bused out about 2.5 hours to Punto Chorros where we got on this over-sized canoe with a motor. I was scared. sometimes Chile is a little ghetto. BUT the boat worked even though there were 14 people on it. just look at the pictures and you will see why i was scared. we saw lobo marinos, pinguinos, tons of aves of different types, delfines, and a really neato starfish! at first we just boated around the island with all of the wildlife and then we headed to Isla Dama where we got off and walked around.
just to explain the ghettoness a little further - in order to block the water from spraying into our faces, the people on the left side of the boat had to sit on a large piece of plastic and then hold it up with their hands to about their shoulder. on the way back the right side of the boat had to do it.
Isla Dama was fun. we climbed up to the top of the rock which has the profile of the 'dama' or woman. and yes, this day i was tackily wearing all PINK! that didn't match. at all. oops. i couldn't help that my toenails were pink, my capris were pink, my backpack has pink on it, my nalgene is pink, my raincoat is pink, and my chacos are pink. OOOPS! fun time regardless.
PS. lobo marinos make goofy noises.
