The last days in Patagonia, Chiloé Island, and some tourist hotspots in Chile’s and Argentina’s Lake District. Then the long drive thru the Pampa to reach Mar del Plata on Argentina’s east coast. Finally to Tandil on the way to Buenos Aires.
The road trip from Cochrane to Chaitén on Chile’s famous Carretera Austral. Tiny villages, turquoise rivers, and lakes. Mountains with huge glaciers and ice fields.
The journey from Patagonia’s southernmost town Ushuaia northwards thru Tierra del Fuego, to the tourist hotspots of El Calafate and El Chaltén. After a visit to Glaciar Perito Moreno and a hike to Mt. Fitz Roy, on thru the pampa to Paso Roballo to Chile’s Carretera Austral.
We made it. On 11th December 22 we’ve arrived in Ushuaia. Thus, the trip come to its end after 10 years traveling thru Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Of course, that’s the moment of our big crisis. Unless we have an incredible idea how to extend our journey.
A whole post just about Parque National Torres de Paine. Probably 1 of the most fascinating landscapes in the world.
The ferry trip to South Patagonia. To the Region de Magallanes y de la Antárctica. 4 days on the boat. A fascinating trip thru the backwaters of Chile’s south coast.

From wine-induced urban life in Mendoza southwards on Ruta 40. Villages and small towns in the desert. Volcanic landscapes near Malargüe and finally on the way to Villa Pehuenia in the Lake District – another world.
We’re about to leave Atacama Desert. A visit to Chile’s most colourful’n’chaotic town: Valparaiso, on to its proud Capital Santiago, then over the Cordillera to Mendoza in Argentina. To taste some Malbec.
Entering the north of Chile to visit San Pedro de Atacama. Then the long and not too spectacular drive thru the Atacama Desert to reach the famous Elqui Valley. The center of Chile’s Pisco production.
