If you think you know lonely and abandoned piece of land was probably never in Patagonia. 2 days we were traveling by bus to Bariloche to El Chalten to go. Around 15pm every day we were well shaken it properly - because the Ruta Cuarenta (Strasz No. 40) is groesztenteils from gravel roads. What are we from the windows of our Buses saw was not always varied, but all the more fascinating. A dusty Gesteinswueste was all we could see 2 days on horizon. Only now and then you get a gas station or a cluster of houses, built unmotivated in the landscape.
But then suddenly the landscape changed dramatically. Appeared on the horizon of mountains and glaciers, which have always been size, and larger. At last we reached El Chalten - a dusty Wild West town, which is also known as trekking and mountaineering mecca of Argentina.
marched for 2 days we were there through the mountains - the walking shoes to the impressive Mt.Fitz Roy and with crampons over the Viedma Glacier, the glacier groeszten the world. moved
Impressed by the massive ice sheets of the ice cap suedpatagonischen us then on to El Calafate, where we were met by an even more powerful glacier. extend up to 60m high, the ice walls the Perito Moreno Glacier from the water.
But not only our eyes were here, lured by the impressive landscape. Also culinary south of Patagonia has to offer. Many a steak is now already disappeared in our bellies ...
To the Argentine cattle population not to further endanger, we soon decided not to quite the southernmost tip of South America travel further, but instead the colorful Puerto Natales to visit, to where we then "Torres del Paine National Park attack participated.
suppose you could guess what it is now ... Of course, was "the icing on the i "- so to speak, the crowning glory of our Patagonia adventure ...
The last time we were purchased and placed in Hong Kong do not quite fit for Patagonia cheap tents to the test because the weather is changeable as anywhere else probably only.. you can expect a fix - and that is the wind (or perhaps more accurately "Storm"), which blows constantly constant strong
The temperature dropped with every mile we approached the south -. and it was all to often a fire and the odd bottle (or box) wine for us to warm more ...
3 nights we camped in the famous national parks in South America, followed the trekking paths to the "Torres del Paine and the Grey Glacier and enjoyed the beautiful views that offered us there.
After three difficult days, we lieszen then not only the "Torres" behind us, but our wind-swept and wet tents ...
From Buenos Aires - and on into the next adventure!
