Rio Gallegos was not a town that we planned on visiting for any length of time however due to the bus from Puerto Madryn it left us with very little choice. Originally the 19 hour bus journey would have gotten us to Rio Gallegos by 1pm the following day so we could get a connecting bus straight to El Calafate at 2pm. However the bus was meant to arrive to collect us at 7pm but was 2 hours late and then it wouldn't start! Another 5 hours later we finally left Puer...

Part 2: Well after the great adventure day on Peninsula Valdes we was itching to do something fun the day after also. We heard there was some nice landscapes which we could reach by taxi or bicycle further down the coast from Puerto Madryn. 17km away (10miles) there is a lovely reservation called Punto Lomo which held a colony of seals. We decided to use the day to explore this. We rented some bikes and cycled the 10 miles of sand and gravel paths and eventually ...

It lies just off Peninsula Valdes which is home to all sorts of wildlife; Hence the reason why this place has been a hotspot on our list of places to visit from when we began planning our route all those months ago. 19 hours from Villa Gesell we arrived at a lovely little hostel, La Tosca, just a minutes walk from the town and be...

We have just finished a lovely three days of relaxing in the small Argentinian beach resort of Villa Gesell; 5 hours south of Buenos Aires. We stopped in a small campsite just outside the town with easy access to the beach and the resort via a local bus. We was lucky to get into this campsite as the town was busy with Argentinian holiday makers as I think it is some kind of holiday period. We was turned away from the first campsite as it was too full! We haven't ...

I can think of one word to describe Buenos Aires: Manic! This city is bustling to the brim with people and traffic! On arrival the hostel recommended we take a taxi from the bus station, so we did, as it was meant to have been easier than trying to find it ourselves in this very large city! It took us a good hour probably for a five minute drive up the road; all the while the driver was trying to witter onto Jonathan about his pet poodle! Bless! I was giggling aw...
