Last Light in Caldera and the Flowering Desert

from Chile Travel Podcast with Tomás Fuentes · host Tomás Fuentes

On my final morning in this working port town, I walk the fog-drenched streets of Puerto Caldera one last time. We talk about the Desierto Florido blooming in the hills, the quiet dignity of a fishing community, and the practicalities of leaving a place that has become home for a few weeks. ☕ Enjoying the show?
