We arrived into Pucon around 11 having passed into Chile (for the third time for me taking up even more valuable passport space) and went straight to our hostel. The weather was glorious - but we were informed that it was about to change and it would be unlikely we would be able to climb the volcano before Sunday. We made the most of the good weather on Thursday afternoon though and went for a wander and ended up in a nice bar by the beach by lake villarrica! Fr...

We arrived in San Martin having come on possibly one of the scenic bus journeys I've ever been on (It actually is the journey that is part of the 7 lakes tour that many people pay to do as a day trip). Obviously we didn't stop for photos and I did snooze a bit but in between the views were simply stunning, lakes surrounded by amazing green hills and the occasional snow-capped mountain!

The nex...

I flew from Rio to El Calafate via Buenos Aires, it took most of the day and I arrived into El Calafate late in the afternoon! The scenery as we came into land was strange - it was quite arid - not a lot to see but there was the most amazing green/blue river snaking through! I got to my hostel - I was really keen to trek the W trail in Torres del Paine usually listed as one of the 10 best treks in the world so I looked for some advice from my hostel, the advice w...
