El Bolson

It was a nice, easy 2 hour bus ride down to El Bolson through the magnificent scenery of the Andes. We found a campsite and the tent was pitched, again. El Bolson is a sleepy little town famous throughout Argentina for it´s hippy market the fact that it´s residents have declared it a...

Bariloche

After Pucon, we headed south through the Chilean Lakes District to the sleepy town of Puerto Varras where we planned to take a lake cruise of the Andes into Argentina. We had read about this cruise, about how beautiful it is, and Jesus had confirmed this in one of our Spanish lessons. However we...

Mammoth Waterfalls at Iguazu

After the overnight journey from Sao Paulo, we arrived in Foz do Iguassu on the Brazilian side of the falls. We headed straight to the restaurant at the top of the falls to get some lunch before walking the various paths from which the falls can be viewed. The Brazilian side is further away from...

Dinner and Tango

After our long days of hiking we were looking forward to enjoying some city time. We had heard that Buenos Aires was the nicest city in South America with lovely European influences and we were certainly not disappointed! We spent most of our days just wandering around the beautiful city and...

Some panoramic views...

For those of you that had the patience waiting for some new pictures, I have created, from the tons of pictures I did at the Perito Moreno Glacier, some panoramic pictures. This Glacier is so wide that I thought it would be the only way to show how it really is. They look a bit the same (unless...

Ice, Ice, Ice

First, I apologize for the delay in uploading pictures. During the last days of the travel it was almost impossible to find a place to do that. At around 70 km from El Calafate, there is this very impressive Perito Moreno Glacier (not to be mistaken with the Perito Moreno city). It is very...

Now, that´s one big chunk of ice!

After a belly full of dinner in Puerto Natales and a good nights rest, we headed to El Calafate to see the fabled Perito Moreno Glacier. Even though we have now seen many glaciers, this one really shouldn´t be missed. It is incredible and the fact that you can get so close is pretty cool...

Real ... windy... Patagonia!

The last 2 days travelling in the Patagonian steppe were quite interesting with changing landscape. The heat hit the stony road but the wind makes you come back to the reality. Yes, here we are in Patagonia, not in the Seychelles. The wind is so strong that I can not take a picture with a...

One of my favourite place

From San Martin de los Andes, a one day excursion to the huechulafquen lake. This is now a natural reserve where the natives (mapuche community) try to get back part of what was once them. On the way there is a small "research" center where the reproduce trouts. I also had an interesting...

Huemul means Andean deer

It is known in every country: When the sun goes down (or up) it is the best time to see some animals. Today the local huemul came to say hello. They were 3 in fact and were so big (looks like my eyes are more trained to search for bugs, birds and so on) that I didn´t see them. For one second I...
