    El Chaltén - day 4

    5 februari 2023, Argentina

    Today it’s unfortunately our last day in El Chaltén already. Most of the tourists come here to do two famous hikes - Laguna de los Tres which we did on our first day and Laguna Torre. Still quite tired but motivated we departed towards Laguna Torre. We had plenty of time as our bus was departing at 18:00 back to El Calafate where we landed few days before. Hike to Laguna Torre is marked as moderate hike and path is pretty easy, nevertheless you need to hike another 20+ km to get to the lake right below the famous mountain Cerro Torre. The path is really not difficult and without the exhaustion of the last days it would be a piece of cake 😁. First part of the hike has lot of ups and downs but then it’s very relaxing walk till the lake. By the lake it was super windy and cold and unfortunately Cerro Torre was covered in clouds. We decided to continue walking back and eat our lunch somewhere else. The whole hike took us 6,5 hours in total with breaks (we even walked quite slow as we were not in a rush). Back in the hotel we found out that Flo’s blister got double of size and that’s why he had some troubles walking… we grabbed our backpacks, mine for some reason heavier then ever before 🤣 and left to the bus station. With some time left we stopped in local cafe and got some nice cake and coffee plus super tasty sandwiches for the bus ride. I was quite looking forward to the bus ride, just to sit and observe this beautiful landscapes but l definitely didn’t expect bus in very poor conditions with gear issues and weird smell. We were really worried that we will get stuck in the middle of nowhere and waiting for rescue bus to come to pick us up 😅😅😅😅 luckily all worked well and we arrived safely to El Calafate. We ended up our evening with some drinks in hostel lobby and playing Uno 😁Läs mer

    El Calafate & Perito Moreno glacier

    6 februari 2023, Argentina ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    El Calafate is not very special city. Most of the tourists come here to make trips around the national park Los Glaciares. This place is very touristy with many restaurants, luxury hotels and tons of travel agencies. The tours are quite expensive, e.g. kayak tour around glaciers costs around 150€ per person, glacier trekking mini 150€, full day 250€, boat tours 100+€…. As we plan to do the glaciar boat cruise in Chile we decided to skip it here and just visit the national park. National park is located 80km from el Calafate and there is regular bus service going to the part twice a day. We decided to go around lunch time and use free morning for washing the clothes and getting some cash again. Unfortunately there were some water cuts in the city and laundry couldn’t accept any new orders. Also there was a money issue in the city 🤣 all the western union stations were either closed, run out of money. The only working station had about 3 hours long queue 🤣🤣🤣 so I walked back to the hostel got our last cash we took from home and went to exchange office. Flo made in the meantime friends with Dutch couple which told him that you actually get for card transactions in Argentina money refunded so the final rate is not 200 but rather 350 🤣🤣 how weird is that 🤣🤣🤣 we checked our bills and found out that the guys were right so problem solved and we will get our cash later from western union in Mendoza. We departed with 12:30 bus to the national park and after 1,5 hours we started to walk around this amazing place. The weather was again great and we were impressed by the views. There were not that many people so we could also sit on the bench and just enjoy the views. The sound of cracking glacier was incredible and we even got to see several ice blocks to fall down (watch the video later 😉). We celebrated another amazing day in South America with Mexican food and drinks. Tomorrow we will enter the next country to continue our Patagonian adventure ❤️🇨🇱Läs mer

    Torres del Paine - day 1

    7 februari 2023, Chile

    After our bus drive where I almost became a criminal 🤣 (I brought 1 apple to Chile which is illegal) we spent few ours in Puerto Natales and were getting ready for camping in National Park Torres del Paine. We picked up our rental car, camping gear and food from supermarket. Chile is very very expensive so we really hope that it’s worth it 😁🙊 the guy from camping gear rental gave us also cool suggestions and helped us to book the boat trip for Friday to see the grey glaciar. Although our camp is right in the middle of national park and it’s only about 100km away from Puerto Natales we needed 2 hours by car to get there. The road is partially unpaved and there are also lot of holes 😅😅 plus we stopped for pictures to admire the beauty and remoteness of this place 🤩🇨🇱 we set up the tent, cooked spaghetti bolognese and went sleep 💤Läs mer

    Torres del Paine - day 2

    8 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    After quite comfortable night and breakfast we departed to Laguna Azul. The path was again very bad so 51km took us almost 1,5 hours. We even saw rainbow and Alpakas on the way 😍. Laguna Azul is the westernmost part of the National Park and not many people visit this place. You can go hiking, camp there or do horse riding. We decided to do the hike to Laguna Cebolla ~ 18km long moderate path along the Laguna Azul over the meadows till Laguna Cebolla. It took us 4,5 hours to complete the route with breaks and we really liked the path especially the first part with the views of Laguna Azul and famous tower mountains. It’s actually the only place except of the Base of the towers where you can see it. From all other parts of the national parks the towers are hidden. During the whole hike we meet only 2 people so yes it is still possible to find remote place and hikes. On the way back we decided to stop in few places and not to drive straight to our camping place. It was anyway still quite early. Our first stop was Paine Waterfall 😍 we were almost alone there. Shortly after the waterfall it started to rain heavily so we could stop at any of the viewpoints… better say there were no views 🤣. Shortly before our camping place there is a cute island with restaurant (Hosteria Pehoe) so we got there some hot chocolate and then returned around 6 to the camp. After rain it got super windy and cold (below 10 degrees) so we really hope for comfortable night 💤😂Läs mer

    Torres del Paine - day 3

    9 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    We woke up at 6 in the morning after super windy night. It felt sometimes like that there is a tornado outside 🤣 the weather in the morning was great and mountains were shining bright with first sunlight 😍 we prepared breakfast and then departed to Hotel Las Torres - the starting point of hike to Mirador Base de Las Torres. This hike is the most popular and most beautiful one in this national park. It is final stage of all the multi day hikes and popular place among day trippers. We drove around 50 minutes to the starting point (35km only) and stoped on the way in the Nordenskjold Viewpoint. At 8am we were ready and motivated to hike 😁 the weather looked great so we were looking forward to explore this national park even more. According to the map it is 4,5 hours to the viewpoint. After 2 hours we should reach Chileno Camp where we can eat and drink something. We were very fast, Flo overpassed most of the tourists and we arrived to the camp after 1,5 hours. We ate some snacks and continued to the viewpoint. Last 45 minutes were very rocky and steep but we managed to get to the lake in only 3,5 hours with breaks. The views were spectacular, there were not many people and the wind was crazy 😂 I had to wear all the jackets I had in my backpack in order to not freeze immediately 🙊 We ate sandwiches, took pictures and after 45 minutes we were ready to go back to Camp Chileno. We were really shocked how many people were going up, there was literally a traffic jam 😅😅 we saw also plenty of exhausted inexperienced hikers going up without food, drinks and with bad shoes 😢 I do not understand how people can underestimate the situation that much. We are talking here about 20km / 9 hours long hike not a walk in city park. Anyway we got around 14:15 to Chileno camp ate tasty cake, drink coffee and were ready for last 5km to the car. Overall the hike is not super easy but also not super difficult if you are experienced or as us you hiked a lot in last days 🤣 around 6 in the evening it started to rain again so we escaped to the common area of our campsite.Läs mer

    Torres del Paine - day 4

    10 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    After stormy night we decided to have a relaxed morning and pack slowly our things. We booked for today afternoon boat trip to Grey Glaciar. After lunch we departed to Grey lake. The road was again spectacular and we stopped few times for pictures. We arrived quite early to the Grey hotel and had to wait almost 2 hours. There was a nice restaurant with the lake view. The lake directly by the hotel is not very deep so tourists have to cross the black sand beach to get to the boat. The path is spectacular, views are amazing and it’s really cool activity to do even if you don’t book the boat trip. The weather today was really crazy it was raining and stormy all the time and sometimes there was suddenly sun shining for 10 minutes 🤣. The boat trip was really cool we got to sail for around 2,5 hours and saw 3 different parts of Grey Glacier. We drunk Pisco Sour local cocktail with ice cubes directly from glacier 😍. Overall the trip was really cool. Seeing few days ago more impressive Perito Moreno Glacier we would, if we could, do rather the boat trip in Argentina. If you visit only one part of Patagonia definitely do not miss this opportunity and do the boat trip, yes it’s pricey but it’s unique lifetime experience 😉. We got back to our car around 19:30 and started to drive back to Puerto Natales which is about 100km away. Our plan was to sleep in the car somewhere on the way as there is no camping place on the way. Unfortunately we could not find any suitable place. Everywhere was a fence as the land belongs to someone. We ended up in Puerto Natales quite tired and desperate 😂 hotel prices are really high here ~ average price per night 230€ 😅 but we luckily found beautiful hotel with breakfast in the city center for 100€ and spoiled ourselves after some uncomfortable nights in tent. You can see how happy Flo was about our decision 😁😁Läs mer

    Puerto Natales

    11 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    In the morning we brought tent and rental car back. We wandered a bit about the city and got tasty lunch menu for 10€ per person which included 1 drink, soup and main dish ~ steak with potatoes and salad. The food was really good. We walked around the lake promenade and then sat down in hotel lobby to chill a bit and book our next hotels and flights. At 20:00 our flight to Santiago de Chile was departing. Puerto Natales has the smallest airport I have ever seen 🤣 it’s also operating only in summer and for example to Santiago there are only 2 flights per week. Most of the tourists have to fly to Punta Arenas and then take bus to Puerto Natales. We will be now spending next 6 days in Santiago and catching some sleep, washing our clothes and planning next weeks of our journey ☺️Läs mer

    Santiago de Chile - day 1

    12 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    After long sleep, washing all our clothes, cooking lunch we decided to go for a walk to the center which is right around the corner. The main square Plaza de Armas is only 10 minutes walk from our Airbnb. The cathedral was unfortunately closed so we will try to visit it next days. Most of the shops and restaurants were closed so we are curious how the city will look like other days of the week. We also visited nearby hill Cerro Santa Lucía where one can see from the top the nice view of the city. It’s a really nice park but you can see that they are not taking care of it that much which is really sad. We also saw many homeless and poor people on the streets (taxi driver told us that they are mainly from Venezuela or Peru). In general we prefer more South American nature and small town then big cities (except of maybe Buenos Aires and Rio 😁). Right next to our apartment it’s a really cool food truck courtyard where you can eat really good and cheap different types of cuisine so we definitely know where we gonna get dinner next days 😁😁😉Läs mer

    Santiago de Chile - day 2

    13 februari 2023, Chile ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Another lazy day is over. We prepared breakfast and lunch in our Airbnb. Flo was working for few hours and later in the afternoon we went for a walk around the city. The city center was definitely more lively then on Sunday. First we walked to local food market ~ Mercado Central Santiago then to cathedral to see it from inside. Our last stop was the Italian neighborhood very cool area full of bars, restaurants and small shops. Perfect place to go out or buy some cool local souvenirs. We ended up our evening by the food trucks next to our place and I introduced Flo to Venezuelan food Cachapas which I know from my times working as Au-pair in Spain.Läs mer
