As we drove into Bariloche the other day we saw paragliders swooping down from the hills and we thought, what a fucking incredible place to be really high up! Then we wondered if it was available commercially but we couldn't see any offers in town amongst the rafting and the Circuito Chico, so we did [...]
It feels like a bit of a waste leaving Copahue in the dark just because the whole area is so fucking beautiful. The extra cold morning air causes the steam from the thermal pools to billow high into the air. At one point it was so thick it was like driving through fog. As the [...]
We'd seriously considered not heading to Malargüe yesterday because we really liked Valle Grande but fuck me, I'm so glad we made that 200 kilometre dent in the journey. The mighty Ruta Nacional 40 is the stuff of legends. It's the kind of road people do just too say they've done it. Y'know, like Route [...]
One of our favourite things to do is bum around in a car with a tent, exploring places and pitching up in the evening at a campsite. I love bus travel too of course, it's also a great way of moving around, but the freedom of being able to cram all of your shit into [...]
I'd read that of you wanted to travel Patagonia in January and February you'd need to think about booking a couple of weeks in advance but I just sort of assumed we'd have to take the hit on some pricey, low standard accommodation. Turns out you'll be lucky to get a bus and might find [...]
You'd think we'd have had enough of glaciers by now but here we were in a cute little Patagonian town whose sole tourist attraction was a large chunk of ice about 80 kilometres away in the Parque Nacional los Glaciares. Perito Moreno Glacier isn't the biggest glacier in the national park which protects a whopping [...]
With a couple of days spare in Ushuaia we figured we'd go put some more stuff in our eyeholes. Lakes and glaciers and the like. Laguna Esmerelda, or Emerald Lake, is a very popular walk about a 20 minute drive from Ushuaia. You can take a shuttle so that's what we did, at a weekend [...]
We absolutely did not set out to have such an epic day. I've not been so tired since I took a load of seasickness tablets during a trip to Antarctica. Did I mention we went to Antarctica? Oh yes, it's going to be like this for a while now, I'm pretty sure I'm going to [...]
Argentina is really, really, utterly fucking massive. We knew we'd be spending many, many hours on buses but hopefully this will be the longest stint we'd have to do without breaking it up with something fun. First, we had to get from Puerto Madryn to Rio Gallegos. It was meant to be a 17 hour [...]
We wanted to just chill somewhere for a week over the Christmas period because fuck trying to work out logistics in the midst of a Catholic country preparing for the birthday of their dead lord, and we figured a tourist town like Puerto Madryn would do it. There's shit to should we desire to do [...]
