My bus to Ushuaia was at 4:30am on New Year´s Eve, the morning after hiking Torres del Paine. I knew the bus was sold out, so I panicked when I got to the bus office and it was locked up and no other passengers were waiting outside. I had 15 minutes ... 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 >

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 >
