... of Southern Bolvia carries on through the northern parts of Argentina with a landscape that intimidates, by virtue of such beauty, even the most traveled of travelers. Scale, depth, colour, richness work as effective as any adjectives in describing it. Hitting Tilcara is the best one can do to attempt to absorb the same for this gorgeous place and one can not hep but feel like they are in Arrowtown with uncanny similarities in ...

... pretty much impossible. The prisoners had the privilege of getting out and working for good behaviour. They built the beginnings of the town, and also railway fromt there out towards the forests. Every day the prisoners were shackled and brought out of the town on one of two trains. The first train to extend the railway line further and the second to chop the trees down in the forest. This work continued during ...

Hello everyone! Was ashamed to realize that I´m about to leave Ushuaia without a single post from here. So greetings from the end of the world! Have been in Ushuaia for almost 3 weeks now and leave on Saturday morning...At 5 o´clock! Am going back to Rio Gallegos to meet up with David and then on to the Glaciers! Being here has been amazing. It´s absolutely stunning! Surrounded by mountains and the sea (with mountains on the island just a little bit across the sea). It is really ...

... au comportement arrogant des Argentins, alors nous nous sommes occupés de nous-mêmes et avons tenté d'oublier tout ça en rigolant bien et en se promenant. Un des trucs sympas a faire à Ushuaia est le Tren del Fin del Mundo (train du bout du monde). C'est un petit train à vapeur minuscule à voie étroite, 50 cm si je me souviens bien, qui suit le tracé de l'ancienne ligne du train de prisonniers conduisant les forçats de la prison d'Ushuaia jusqu'aux forêts australes pour couper du bois ...

... at. We also saw a lot of birds called cormorants that look a bit like penguins, but unfortuneately I didn´t see any penguins. Ushuaia is where cruises to the Antarctic depart from; they´re quite expensive so I opted out of that particular trip! Since I couldn´t go any further south if I wasn´t going to the south pole, it was time to start heading back up north again. I had a gruelling (and very dull) 33 hour bus journey to Puerto Madryn on the Atlantic coast ...

... Nächte während d** Nacht g**egnet und als wir aufgestanden sind hat es wied** aufgehört. Wir hatten also drei trockene Tage. Am dritten Tag haben wir das Zelt am See aufgestellt und Valentin ging Fischen. Er hat eine Forelle gefangen. Wir haben sie direkt auf d** Glut gegrillt. Ich hatte noch ein wenig Gemüse dabei und als Beilage gab es Reis. Ein deluxe Nachtessen. Am nächsten Tag mussten wir ein Tal aufwärts gehen um die normale Route wied** zu **reichen. Es war ein übl** Tag. Wir ...

... patch of terrain that seems to be scooped out and flattened just enough to put there an airport and few buildings. And that is Ushuaia. Nothing more. The first breath of fresh air was like a shock to our lungs, from the smoggy 100F of Santiago we were suddenly bathing in crystal thin air chilled to the perfect 50F. We were loaded into busses, driven across a national park (not worth to mention) and deposited on a large catamaran boat that took us for a ...

... old home wares and food boxes. It has a bakery attached and serves some great local beers & wines, which of course we had to sample. We then visited a couple of the towns museums which chart its history - it used to be where most of the hardened criminals of Argentina were sent to serve time, and back then it just had a prison and a few houses and 1 store. It has grown in the past few hundred years, but still has a small town feel to it. Everywhere you go here ...

... just bring some sea sickness medicine" they said. So along with all the cold weather clothing I have packed I stopped into a pharmacy today to get just that. This will be it for a while as I'll be out of reach, so check back in about 10 days for loads of pictures of icebergs, glaciers, penguins, sea lions, and some whales amongst other things
