Yo! Thank you @stevenalexander. Chile's nature totally broke me open, in all the best of ways! If you love to backpack, I would recommend Chile for sure. All 15 regions have something profound to offer; and the diversity of landscape is pretty epic.
There is inherent magic in nature, and it is a gift when we give ourselves the space to come into relationship with it. I hope to pass on some of the magic I gained, so I'll keep the posts coming!
Wishing you happy trails.
