Glaciers, glaciers and more glaciers

ARGENTINA | Wednesday, 6 Jan 2010 | Views [521]

I take a bus 3 hours south to El Calafate in the southern part of the glacier park. It´s home to Perito Moreno, the park´s most famous glacier. I head there the next day and take a boat ride to the northern face of the glacier. It´s just incredible seeing ... Read more >

After Neuquén I spend a few days hiking in the lakes district around Bariloche. It was pretty chill, I did some nice, short hikes around the lakes. No real stories to tell, but I´ll post some pics to give an idea of what I was up to. From Bariloche, ... Read more >

I´ve passed through Neuquén on the bus before on my way to Bariloche the first few days after I arrived in Argentina. It doesn´t seem like too impressive of a city, but the surrounding deserts are full of dinosaur fossils and I come back to explore these ... Read more >

Tea in the Sahara

From Puerto Madryn, it´s an hour through the desert to the small city of Trelew, then another half hour to the town of Gaiman. It´s got Welsh origins and still is home to many casas de té. The day before, in Puerto Madryn, I go to a second hand clothing ... Read more >

Ye Olde Patagonian Express

My first tourist port of call is Esquel, two and a half hours south of El Bolson. I´m there for the express purpose of riding La Trochita, The Old Patagonian Express. If I´m understanding Spanish correctly (which I may not be), it´s a steam train ... Read more >

I left the farm on Friday after three and a half weeks. Despite my intial complaining, I really loved it and had a hard time leaving. The original plan was to go back in January after some traveling, but I decided it´s best to just leave now. I´ll go ... Read more >

I´ve been on the farm for a week and a half. It´s taken some getting used to, but I´m liking it more now. The farm is on a mountain, about 45 minutes from the town of El Bolson in Patagonia. There are 30 hectares of land, but most of it is unused ... Read more >
