We had to stay in the hole of a town called Rio Gallegos for one night and it wasn’t even cheap….. however, we had a very cramped old fashioned dorm room to ourselves which was nice for a change. The wind outside was so extreme you could hardly walk ... Read more >

The 4 of us, and 2 of the Americans we had met on our trek, boarded the Chalten Travel - Route 40 - bus at the early hour of 6.45am. Route 40 is meant to be Argentina’s version of America’s Route 66. The first few hours gave us some views of mountains, ... Read more >

Andrew and I got a 7.5 hour bus to Mendoza, Argentina. On the bus we met Anna and Alex, a British couple. We talked for hours which kept us entertained, especially during the 2 hour wait at border control. The Chile and Argentina custom officials ... Read more >

After our mammoth 23 hour bus ride to Santiago, we checked into a nice hostel. Here we stayed in a 6 bed dorm because prices for the peak season are phenomenal. The next few months are going to attack the wallet! Our roommates were a nice Scottish ... Read more >

We boarded a local bus in La Paz in the morning. It was in a worst state than the buses in Ecuador! The chairs were stained, the paint was chipped all over, the door held together by tape and the driver had a sickly hacking cough. Luckily we got ... Read more >
