Maybe the mythical charm had been on its summer holidays during our last visit, but within a couple of hours of touching down, we’d succumbed to El Hierro’s friendly embrace once again. […]
It’s a world straight out of Jurassic Park and realisation dawns with the day that Chile is like nowhere we’ve ever been before. […]
