We left the tranquil campsite in Vicuna and continued to head North.\u00a0 The roads continued to be stunning and the views down over the West coast of Chile were amazing.\u00a0 We were headed to one of the many National Parks in Chile, Parque Nationale Pan d\u00b4Azucar.\u00a0 The literal translation of the name is sugar loaf, named after an island a little way off the coast which hosts marine wildlife including penguins and sealions.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we eventually arrived at Pan d\u00b4Azucar it was the evening and we thought we may have missed the office opening hours.\u00a0 Fortunately a woman arrived and said that there were cabanas available.\u00a0 She got in the four by four and drove with us to the most idyllic setting.\u00a0 The park itself was dry with rocky outcrops, vast sand beaches and headlands.\u00a0 The cabana was one of two, the other was vacant, and was basically on the beach looking out to sea.\u00a0 There were lots of birds and the sunset down over the glittering sea was beautiful.<\/p>\n
