We did a lovely little day trip to Colonia, Uraguay - it's a swift 1hr boat ride across the Rio del Plata. The town itself feels very Mediterranean, perhaps croation, and was a welcome, quiet distraction from chaotic BA!</div>

The last place i visited on my trip was the falls, and I'm so pleased I've saved the best til last. They were absolutely stunning, the beauty and power (total cliché, sorry), were overwhelming. I've never seen anything like them. Plus my current travel buddy assures me they are better than the Victoria Falls.. which leaves Niagara as the only contender!</div>

We did a four day Jeep cruise across south west Bolivia, and wow, it was incredible. We saw some of the most varied and dramatic scenery I've ever seen. Every day we'd get up at the crack of dawn in order to beat the other Jeeps to each highlight and then invariably arrive last - organising two Jeeps of 10 people wasn't easy.

So, after driving the 200k or so down to Cafayate from Salta and sampling a large amount of the local vineyards, the next day we decided to return up the Rn40 - one of Argie's most famous, beautiful and difficult roads. The drive took 10 hours, all on the unpaved, muddy, gravelly and sometimes flooded road. But wow was the scenery amazing!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-35033030132053465962012-01-10T22:06:00.000+00:002012-01-10T22:06:31.866+00:00San Pedro De Atacama<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made it! It was quite a trek - an overnight bus from Santiago, then a long, expensive taxi ride, then a swift hike through the desert - but it was worth it. Even getting blasted by sand and dust for 9 hours whilst watching it and having to hitch hike back to Copiapo to get on another overnight bus!</div>

The art galleries are cool, showcasing some interesting Chilean artwork, although it's quite easy to sit pondering the constructivist-existential-performance art of a guy painting a wall, before realising he's actually just a guy painting a wall. Ladders, pain tins, high voltage boxes - all adorn the corners of the galleries here, making me wish someone would just have a bit of a tidy up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-66650846579182850192011-12-23T16:32:00.000+00:002011-12-26T02:04:45.789+00:00Cerro San Cristobal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a huge parky/hilly thing north east of the centre, with great views over the city and some lovely parks. They use so much water here in all the green spaces (3rd photo for example) - I've no idea where it comes from, but I hope it's just melt water from some of the (still snow capped) mountains around the city..</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-78852502895872382652011-12-23T02:21:00.000+00:002011-12-23T02:21:43.145+00:00Santiago<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Santiago feels quite different to the other major city I've visited (Buenos Aires), for one thing far more American - lots of malls, chain restaurants and big ugly concrete and smoked glass mini-skyscrapers. But also a lot smaller, even though it's not. Most of the interesting touristy bits are concentrated in one area, with the rest of the city being mostly residential with a few restaurants and bars scattered around..</div>

...for 7 hours. After a brilliant days horse riding, including a large amount of galloping, my back hurt rather a lot. The next day we decided to an 'easier' trek - turned out we ascended 1300m and walked about 24k in total. It was a great walk though, we visited an abandoned mine on the way up, and all this was thanks to our fantastic guide Elvio, and the stunning scenery around the tiny Andean village of Uspallata, where were staying. All in all a fantastic, exhausting few days!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-62158143131019541662011-12-22T20:07:00.002+00:002011-12-22T20:35:44.623+00:00Aconcagua National Park<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aconcagua, all 6900m of it, is a bit of a beast. Unfortunately getting anywhere near the top requires a lot of money, time, and climbing gear. So instead we had a lovely walk around the national park that surrounds it, complete with tired old mules carrying supplies to and from base camp..Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-29855075011719945692011-12-14T01:59:00.000+00:002011-12-14T01:59:37.719+00:00Mendoza<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mendoza's a beautiful town, sitting at the bottom of the (still snow covered) Andes. Hiring bikes and tasting your way through the hundreds of vineyards in nearby Maipu is the thing to do here, so after one flat tyre and a hell of a lot of Malbec, we felt pretty cultured, but mostly pissed. </div>

A beautiful little German village, about 3 hours from Cordoba. Well worth the trip, we went on a good hike up to the amusingly named "Cerro Wank" - led the whole time by our fantastic guide "Che" - see second picture down. There were loads of mountain streams, including the one in the third picture, which dived underground - unfortunately we couldn't find our way in though!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-72750759853400714712011-12-09T18:02:00.001+00:002011-12-09T18:05:13.093+00:00Cordoba<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I didn't like it. It's pretty dull, lots of grey concrete buildings, little open space, and very commercial - if you're shopping for shoes or women's underwear, it's worth the pilgrimage, otherwise I'd steer clear. There were one or two interesting Jesuit churches, but this little photo kind of sums up the general greyness.</div>

It's a pretty little town, about 4 hours away from BA, with the usual Argentinian mix of lovely old buildings right next to big ugly tower blocks, plus there's a nice lot of picturesque reminders of Argentina's abandoned railway network. And thanks to my great host, Emiliano, Mark, Katryn and I now know it has awesome nightlife as well, with loads of cool riverside bars!</div>

The so called "End of the World" was a brief, if fun day. We arrived a day later than planned, missed the famous boat trip around the Beagle Islands, had our coats stolen, but did manage to climb this small mountain. It was pretty chilly at the top, hopefully the last time i'll need my ski jacket this trip!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-55344228657403469742011-11-23T22:16:00.001+00:002011-11-24T21:02:07.820+00:00...debted to the lovely LaurianeWho took this awesome photo of me, Adrien and Chris that now forms my blog title!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-69550723525835810382011-11-23T20:19:00.001+00:002011-11-23T20:23:38.886+00:00El Chalten, walking quite a long way..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We did two big treks here, the first one, 28k, to Laguna Torres (note beautiful weather and stunning scenery). The next day, 26k, heavy rain at the bottom and snow at the top, rather obscuring our view of an apparently lovely lake and Fitz Roy mountain behind! Fantastic couple of days walking with our Belgian friends though.</div>

It's a bloody huge glacier! 2km across, absolutely awe inspiring. Huge chunks fall off the face into the lake below making huge echo-y booms, and apparently it moves 2m a day.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010523881140358339.post-76856431263327882132011-11-18T10:58:00.001+00:002011-11-18T20:27:47.437+00:00a boat, next to a baby whale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a bit long and boring, but it gives you an idea how close we were to the whales. This is a baby Southern Right Whale, whose mother had dived for food, and was feeling a bit lonely and throwing a strop to get her to come back!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06056613808330976788noreply@blogger.com0
