Hiking and a blizzard...
We arrived in El Chalten at about 11.30am on Saturday after a 4 hour bus ride from El Calafate. Apparently we stopped enroute at a house where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out in…had no idea at the time! For those who haven't heard of El Chalten, it is a really small town established in 1985 for the purposes of securing the border …

Berge hinter Wolken
Nach der super abenteurlichen Fahrt uber die Ruta 40 von Bariloche nach El Chalten waren wir zwar froh, schon ein Hostel zu haben, aber so toll wars dann doch wieder nicht. Darum haben wir am nachsten Morgen erst mal das ganze Dorf abgeklappert auf der Suche nach einem anderen Hostel fur die zweite Nacht. Schlussendlich wurden wir direkt gegenuber …

Having a whale of a time!
We began the Patagonian experience with heavy hearts, knowing that soon our golden tans would fade only to be replaced by our usual English pallor. Fortunately the weather in Puerto Madryn was cracking the flags and we hoped that the penguins had remembered to pack their bikinis.
Our first stop was Punta Tombo : a penguin colony situated on …

Mission aborted (but the thought was there)
... (ahem) but after a bit of stretching (mad lizzie style) we were ready to set about another 24km (this time the Cerro Torre) trek but without the vertical height gained in yesterdays trek. Having not eaten anything significant yesterday we were somewhat ...

Funny looking hill.
... wonderful views of Cerro Fitz Roy. The other hike is the 5 hour round trip hike to Lago Torre, with equally splendid views of Cerro Torre (Tower Hill). Both mountains are pretty much next to each other, but you still have to do both hikes in order to be ...

Easter in El Chalten & trekking Fitz Roy

Treking in Los Glaciers National Park
