El Calafate, Argentina

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...

4 Kayaks, 3 variations of President, 2 Irish lads and a Saga Excursion.

Arrive in Bariloche at 3pm on, what day is it?? Oh yes its a Thursday. Spending 19 hours on a bus really makes you disorientated when you arrive at a new location. I can´t begin to describe the journey into the small lakeside town. The snow-dusted Andes again in the background, the town is...
