Buen dia As I think we mentioned in the last postcard from Cafayate, we have headed north to a little town called Humahuaca which is about two hours from the Bolivian border. Not a lot here to be honest, but the town is nestled in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a valley created by the Rio Grande. A very beatiful area with amazing rock formations and colours. The last few days have been spent wandering around the town and a half day trip to a little to...

Hola All, Well we left San Pedro (Chile) on a 12 hour bus ride over the Andes climbing to altitudes of around 4500m! They say it can take its toll and cause headaches and nausea and for one poor girl thats exactly what happened...she had to be administed oxygen.....and we all enjoyed the sounds of her throwing up. Anyway the scenery on top was fantastic as you can see from the photos so made a great bus ride. We arrived in Salta after midnight and the n...

?Hola! ?Que tal? As we promised, we have made our way to Bariloche, a beautiful lakeside town in the heart of the famous Argentinian Lake District (an area shared with neighbouring Chile). Didn?t get here as fast as we anticipated. We may have mentioned in an earlier postcard that we avoided a 36 hour bus ride from El Calafate to Bariloche by opting for a 1.5 hour flight for little additional expense. Well, luck would have it that it snowed heavily on the night b...

Buenos Dias folks, Well we have been in El Calafate for the past few days and have really enjoyed our time here chilling with some great siteseeing also. We cheated a little to get here and took a plane from Ushuaia as it ended up only being marginally more expensive than taking two buses which would have taken about 18 hours! The first day we took a day trip with some friends we had made in Ushuaia to the Perito Moreno glacier. It was a beautiful drive through t...

Hola fom the end of the world! For those of you not in the loop, Ushuaia is the most southern town in the world. There has to be some draw card as to get here was one of our toughest journeys to date! 29 hours of freezing cold buses, ferries and border crossings between Chile and Argentina. We have spent the last 4 nights here enjoying the many activities available (dog sledding with huskies, cruising on the Beagle Chanel, walking in the national park ...
