Jan 12, 2009 - Direction Chili

Nous partons du Cidep un peu tristes de laisser ce jardin d’Eden, L’expérience ici nous a bien plu. Llegando a la ciudad nos dimos cuenta de que solo era una gran ciudad turistica sin mucho chiste, lo que nos motivo para seguir hacia Villa la angostura. ... Alli, lo mismo pero incluso mas caro.Nous partons du Cidep un peu tristes de laisser ce jardin d’Eden, L’expérience ici nous a bien plu.

Oct 16, 2008 - San Martín de los Andes- Anne the dwarf and 80s cars

San Martín de los Andes was our first stop in Argentina. ... It is apparently a very popular holiday destination among Argentinians, although there was an out-of-season quietness about the place while we were there.San Martín de los Andes was our first stop in Argentina. ...

Mar 16, 2008 - ¡Buen provecho!

Almost missing our bus, due to confusion of bus company names (never a dull moment!), we made it to the lovely little town of San Martin de los Andes.Almost missing our bus, due to confusion of bus company names (never a dull moment!), we made it to the lovely little town of San Martin de los Andes....

Feb 24, 2008 - Neuquén and the Fly Shop

We hopped another uneventful night bus in the evening and headed to Neuquén, the eastern most city in the Argentine Lake District and the jumping off point for Patagonia (south). ... From there well head a bit north to Torres del Paine and back up along the Andes to the Lake District for a good two-three week stay (fishing and hiking) before making our way back to Neuquén, and eventually Lima, to catch our flight home. ... The city of Neuquén sits at the confluence of Limay and Neuquén rivers. ... I nearly felt like his son and if we would have stayed another day in Neuquén I am sure I would have spent all of our savings in there. ... So, it looks like the fly shop was the story in Neuquén as we really didn't do much there. ...

Nov 5, 2007 - San Martin De Los Andes: Is that lake number 6 or 7?

Is this Switzerland or Argentina? A pleasant 6 hour bus ride across the tremendous Andes mountain range, which I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing; passing by beautiful lakes, amazing scenery and national park Lanin with its centrepiece snow-capped volcano (which you can climb but I didn't even contemplate it, enough is enough for the moment!).Is this Switzerland or Argentina?
