After a 30 hour hike from northern Chile, we arrived in Mendoza in West Argentina, a town built at the foot of the Andes mountains. We were soooo excited to be going back to Argentina after loving our first experience there in Buenos Aires, and we were not disapponted the second time around!! It was like a mini version of BA, but not as hectic, but still with wonderful food and drink, amazing sights and great shopping!! There was so much to see and do, and ...

After our tour we were dropped off in San Pedro, north of Chile, a town in the driest desert in the world. We were only here for one night as we were heading to argentina the next day. It was a cool little travellers town with lots of good restaurants and bars, so we took advantage and had a night out to say farewell to some good friends that we had made along the way....Lol. xxxx

We headed off in our 4x4 jeep with 4 other travellers, and Lorenzo the driver along with his wife the Cook and toddler Diago, who is the...

From Puno in Peru we crossed the border into Bolivia on our way to La Paz, driven by Bolivias answer to Michael Schumacher in an old style chicken bus! What should have been a lovely scenic journey around lakes and mountains turned into a journey where we feared for our lives...literally, after being merely 2 seconds from flying off the side of a cliff! Road works had caused another bus to stop around a blind bend on the edge of a cliff, and hurtling around the c...
