Manuel Fernandez 816, Bm Residencial El Mirador Ushuaia, Province of Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Argentina, 9410, -54-02901-422877
... 45 pesos to ski, SOLD! Snow problem! I enjoy my 1st turns of the season in the blistering cold, so stoked that I am skiing in October and that its snowing. I meet a very friendly Brazilian gentlemen who invites me to lunch. I think he was anticipating some ski tips. By the afternoon two more lifts open and I explore the mountain. Cerro Castro. Cherishing the moment. Turns, turns and more turns.

... em media, faz apenas 10 dias assim por ano. Sorte nossa. Fui ao centro "invernal" Tierra Nayor. Lah eh possivel realizar varias atividades na neve. Eu escolhi a caminhada com raquetes de neve e o trenoh.
A caminhada com as raquetes de neve dura umas duas horas e meia comecando numa planicie e entao entrando num bosque muito bonito e depois subindo uma montanha pequena de onde temos uma linda vista do vale. Dali voltamos ...
... beauty; and well I could go on and on. Nothing can also prepare you for when you return to your hostel 80 women between the ages of 22-35yrs have arrived from Buenos Aires had arrived weekend forcing me to be turned into a 'host' and staying at the owners. "Drink ladies?" and then my tooth broke so another bus I did for another 20+ hours. Brazil It is Florianopolis that forms a close definition of paradise. A absolute ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina thepolishmaori... the water. After that I was allowed to drive (will stear) the boat for a while (I`m still putting it down as a first). The hardest part staying on the seat as the waves were huge. We stopped off on an island close to Ushuaia where we went for a short walk. We were shown some local flora & fauna and also the remains of an indigenous house. It just looked like a hollow in the ground to me but apparently they had ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina shanem... had the crazy idea of tekking the 28 KM to another glacier...we have loved every minute (except for the swollen and very sore feet!) and have partied very well indeed!! We were camping at a lovely site with the peaks in the background...and there were 2 other overland tours there too which was really cool catching up and sharing stories from Rio onwards. So now onto El Cafate and heading steadily north through cold glacial areas. We`re heading towards Santiago and Ruth & Charlotte!!
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina sheilajortw... del Fuego, but the Beagle channel runs to the south of the city and its beautiful! Was great to get out onto the water and see the local colonies of sea lions and cormorant near the Les Eclaireurs lighthouse. It was also good to walk up to the Martial glacier that overlooks the city. The number of cruise ships that enter port here for their Antarctica run is good too and means that the streets are rarely quiet ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina richymariner... of huge cruse ships docking every day, as well as all the cargo ships, naval vessels and tour boats so there was always something going on at the docks. There were a lot of touristy shops and some dutyfree shops too but I´m not quite sure if they were giving much better deals really! We arrived there after a long bus journey with a bunch of interesting folk from a variety of places including Korea, Australia, Wales and the Netherlands. The ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina feeandpete... then into small clearings with breathtaking views of the water and mountains. At one clearing, we decided to stop for lunch (ham and bread, apples, and trail mix). A little hawk flew over while we were eating lunch and literally just walked around about 2 feet from us for probably 15 minutes... just hanging out, not the least bit intimidated or deterred by us ...
Ushuaia, Argentina simsinchile... and some ocean views again. This town is one of a handful that have grown rich from the Patagonian oil discoveries, and the flashy new pick up trucks and sneakered teenagers with mobile phones show off this new found wealth. Sadly for us wealth does not mean restaurants as we spend the best part of 2 hours looking for a place where we will be fed without contracting hepatitis. If you want to make some money, go open a fast food restaurant in Caleta Olivia. If you like wind ...
Ushuaia, Patagonia, Argentina barneyandpier... of ice creak and groan before finally crashing into the lake. next it was on to ushuhaia (crossing 3 borders into and out of chile, still smuggling fruit and veg) which is famous for being REALLY REALLY far south. this is the end of the panamerican highway and in a way a conclusion to the "quest" part of this adventure. we toasted our voyage with a shot each of 8 year old flor de caņa rum that we have been ...
