Esquel Hotels - Reviews and Rates

January 19th The gentlemen next to me left his television on all night and snored very loudly so once again I had a restless night of sleep. I think I am going to start wearing earplugs to bed. The ride once again beautiful, the road weaving through the Andes as we make our way to the Argentinian border. We stopped at a car museum in the middle ...

Dank uns**** nicht so besond**s guten Busfahrt hi**h** kommen wir am 1. Dezemb** morgens um 6:30 Uhr ei*****massen g**aed**t in Esquel an und v**druecken uns **stmal ins Cafe direkt im Bust**minal.

Hallo iedereen in Holanda!! We hebben een drukke week achter de rug! Na een dagje bijkomen van de lange reis zijn we met het 2008 actief-zijn-plan begonnen (elke dag opdrukken en conditie opbouwen) en hebben we op gehuurde mountain bikes een ´circuito chico´ gefietst (klein rondje?...niet zo klein hoor) in het Nahuel Huapi Nationaal Park, een va...

The fabled route 40 ("Ruta Cuarenta") runs the entire length of Argentina from north to south parallel to the spectacular spine of the country - the beautiful Andes mountains - and passing through vivid and varied scenery. At the time, we were fortunate on two counts - firstly to be travelling when public transport along the most inaccessable se...

With limited time, I opt for a tour of parque nacional los alerces, the focus of my stop here, rather than a trek. The entire tour is Spanish speaking except me. I can follow parts of the guide's talk but it is much too fast. I focus on the views. The bus ride is a pretty one through forests, lakes and hills. We then hike (at super slow speed) t...

We only came to Esquel simply to be nearer the airport for our flight to El Calafate tomorrow. The city itself seemd OK although we didn't get a chance to go on some of the walks in the area. The highlight of the day was watching England get beaten by Argentina at Twickenham. Brilliant. DAILY FACTS - Stayed at: Casa del Pueblo (El Batxoky). The ...

We are back to full strength now!!! After a miserable morning missing my ipod (and Pat bashing it severely!) we decided to look at the apple website and guess what....it tells you what to do if your ipod doesn´t respond (you have to press and hold menu and select) and now I am happy to report my ipod is back to it´s charming little self (and we ...

180kms South East of Hippy Fest 2006 (El Bolson) is this place, and to be honest, I´m not sure what it is. Its called Esquel and is some old Welsh colony. The town itself is a tiny dusty blob of buildings with a main highway shooting through the middle and a few scenic mountains surrounding it, but thats beginning to be less of an attraction now...
