El Calafate Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

It's finally here...the first blog entry. I have been promising to write this since I arrived in Buenos Aires on the 1st Feb...which now makes the task of summarising the adventure so far a little trickier. I'll start off by answering the question: was is worth giving up my comfort zone and perceived job security in London to travel the Americas...

Our first Aerolineas flight, and maybe we were just lucky, but it did fly and it was on time and it was actually fine! Far better than Iberia, enough said. Spent the morning eating more chocolate in Bariloche, then arrived in El Calafate around early evening - and what an amazing place - it is very very remote, but absolutely stunning - huge big...

ENGLISH - Deutsch bitte runterfahren After a short flight from Ushuaia, I arrived in El Calafate. It was kind of a wired place. You could really tell that this place is only there because of its famous attraction, the Perito Moreno Glacier. The next morning, I was suposed to have a 7am pick up and as always... these pick up buses come and go whe...

Before leaving Che Patagonia Hostel, a fly fisherman from Montanna in the United State who Nadine had befriended the night before showed us boxes full of fishing lures he had made and then presented us with one as a gift. We do alot of fly fishing you know. The sweet man also showed us pictures of his children and his hunting trophies which were...

Lets see the country and travel by bus, that was the idea. Well we took off at 06:00 and arrived at 01:00 the next morning. The country? well we missed the first 3 hours as it was dark, that was the mountains, then the country became flat, like driving through the outback only green. One thing that kept us awake was the fact that as we have to g...

"May youīve gotta update!" - day after day I find myself thinking.. However, lack of.. or extortionate priced internet access is to blame. So Iīm now referring to a accumulated batch of doodles and rough notes to create this entry. Howdy all! It certainly has been a while since I last inserted a long-winded blog piece. Sit comfortably, grab the ...

The hostel we're staying at here is very nice. It's on a small hill behind the main town, looking down over the town to the lake in front of us. On the first night we arrived (Saturday) the hostel was organising an 'asado' - an argentinian barbeque. Before the meat fest, we went for a wander around the town - a little reminiscent of Pucon but no...

EL CALAFATE 26/2 - 3/3 Our bus journey took us 6 hours and border crossings were good. We arrived in El Calafate bus terminal just after lunch. We found our hostel which was situated up a dirt road about a 10min walk out of town. We off loaded our packs and the brochures from Puerto Natales and then walked into town. We spent most of the day chi...
