    Bore da todos!  Apologies for the long delay but have been moving very fast since I left Patagonia as such the blog is running about a week and a half behind realtime. I will be trying to get us up to speed over the next few days.  Today we explore the town of the mill…

  • Arrival in Yr Wladfa 🇦🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇷

  • The German History of Bariloche

    Hola todos! The last blog for Bariloche is a bit of a history lesson. You see while in between doing those trips I had a day where I needed to do laundry and move accommodation and on this day I managed to get myself booked last minute onto a history tour, specifically a walking tour…

  • The 7 Lakes Trip and San Martín de Los Andes

    Hola todos! For my last trip in Bariloche I did a tour called Los Siete Lagos or the Seven lakes and San Martín de los Andes. This was a similar trip to the first one up the glaciers being a relaxed minibus tour with various stops dotted about. Once again it was a cold one…

    Hola todos! The 2nd trip I went on in Bariloche took me to a place called Blaza Tristeza and a great waterfall called Cascada Frey, named after the guy who mapped the region and made the line separating Argentina from Chile. This time it was an early start being out the door for around 0730…

  • A Proper Introduction to Patagonia (ft the Patagonia museum of Bariloche)

    Hola todos! This is a short blog post to give the Patagonia Museum of Bariloche a bit of a spotlight as it’s a good place to give a good all round intro/overview of Patagonia. Firstly as you can probably understand from the sheer distances between towns and cities here Patagonia is a vast region which…

  • Exploring Bariloche

    Hola todos! First day in Bariloche so you know what that means time to get the proper lay of the land of the place so obviously I went and found a walking tour starting 10 am. This walking tour started from the office of a company called Grupo Visión which are a travel agent and…

  • Back to Argentina!

    Hola todos! After we left off with waiting for the bus out of Puerto Varas it soon pulled up and we were on our way back to Argentina, I am going to skip over that Journey as it was pretty uneventful save the border crossing which again nothing to note came up there. You have…

  • The Vibes of Puerto Varas *SPOILER ALERT*

    Hola todos! Last one for Chile 🇨🇱 This is all about my brief stay in Puerto Varas. So vamos a empezar! Firstly the bus ride down was pretty uneventful but it was getting noticeably colder here as we head south into Patagonia proper with the landscape very much changing to resemble northern Europe or Canada…
