Caption at Caleta Lenga, Bio Bio region, Chile. By Voyagers
After one month in google hell we decided to actualize the blog. We did a big effort writing about the mega earthquake but someone put us in hell (banned from google search results).
Now we are in Concepcion, for one week we visited coastal cities damaged by the tsunami. We met wonderful pleople, working, cleaning their houses, markets… building a new home, etc.
It’s admirable how this people are recovering so fast after the catastrophe.
We visited Lota, Coronel, Maule, Caleta Lenga, Schwager, Penco, Lirquen, Hualpen, etc.

The earthquake was very heavy and noisy, the people wake up, run from their houses and apartments. The buildings oscillate and house stuff shacked and fell all over. Some people lost a cup of tee other people lost everything…
Communications yesterday and today are very difficult, almost impossible. In a lot of the affected places there is no water or electricity, the government is working to regularize this situation. The highways are with problems, and some villages and cities are totally or partiality isolated.
Food and fuel: Modern life is turning to be an annoyance, people is going to the fuel stations trying to get a full tank (unnecessary, schools are suspended until the second week of March, in Santiago public transportation is working and Metro Subway is running almost normal today) Supermarkets are closed, and crazy and hungry people broke in to get food. Some supermarket companies will open this afternoon.
Communications and news from Maule and Bio Bio regions are still kaput. We are still trying to reach our friends there (Concepcion, Canete and Talcahuano)
El terremoto fue muy fuerte y ruidoso, la gente se levanto, corrio de sus camas y salio de sus casas y departamentos. Los edificios oscilaban y los utencilios de hogar se sacudian y caian. Algunos perdieron una taza de te, otros lo perdieron todo…
Las comunicaciones ayer y hoy han sido muy dificiles, casi imposibles. En varios de los lugares afectados no hay elecricidad o agua potable, el gobierno esta trabajando para regularizar esta situacion. Las carreteras presentan problemas, y algunas villas y ciudades estan total o completamente aisladas.
Alimentos y combustibles: La vida moderna se esta tornando en una molestia, algunas personas van a las estaciones de servicio buscando llenar sus vehiculos (cosa innecesaria, ya que las clases estan suspendias hasta la segunda semana de Marzo, en Santiago el transporte publico esta funcionando, y el Metro subterraneo pasa casi normalemente) los supermercados estan cerrados, gente hambrienta entro ilegalmente a sacar comida. Algunas empresas de supermercados abriran hoy en la tarde.
Comunicaciones y noticias desde la Region del Maule y Bio Bio estan kaput aun. Seguimos tratando de contactar amigos en la zona (Concepcion, Canete y Talcahuano)
