hey all! Well, we successfully made it through 4 days, 3 nights of backpacking through the Glacier National Park of Argentina near Chalten, the "trekking capitol of Argentina". The park is, again, beautiful. Just like everything down here. Though the last few glaciers we have seen arent as impresive, and more dirty than those prior. The lakes and mountains are impressive, though not as inspiring as torres del paine in chile. We were graced ...

hey all, Our time here in El Calafate, the Argentina side of Patagonia, has been sweet, but short. Its a small, a little expensive, but attractive and friendly town. Much more amiable than Ushuaia, whom its residents seemed to dislike tourists. Once again, we are off to another place. I forgot how stressful and tiring traveling can be, constantly moving. Yesterday, we went horseback riding near the town, overlooking the Lake Argentina in various s...

Hey Everyone, Yesterday, Momo and I took the bus from Ushuaia to Rio Gallegos. On the map, it doesnt look like that long of a way, but it took 12 hours to complete a rather....interesting trip. First off, not to a good start, we have to wake up at 4 am to be at the bus station at 4:40. Bus doesnt get there until 5:10. NOT happy. I could have slept 30 more minutes. Sleeping anywhere from 4 to 6 hours is the worst for me. My eyes hurt, I feel exhausted, I'm...

Hey all! Today, in the "end of the world", as the call Ushuaia, the most southern city in the world, we went to see the penguins through the Beagle chanel. Now, as someone who never really paid much attention to the waddlers, I have to say: they are so cute!! All of them. In everything they do. Sitting, lying down, walking, swimming, eating, staring at the water, staring at me, all of it is so cute. They swim like little torpedos, which I have no idea how the...

hey all, Momo and I recently finished the Torres del Paine trek in southern patagonia in Chile. There are no words to descirbe the beauty of this place. It is by far the coolest place I have ever been, and probably the most memorable. Of course, not everyone that visits get such great weather. We had no rain, sun pertty much every day, and only one day with really bad winds. It almost blew me off the mountain! It is possible to hike the "W", 5 days, 4 nig...
