Perrito Moreno

... but you can make your own one :)

El Chalten

You spend 32 hours on the bus from Bariloce to El Chalten, a place deep in Patagonian Andes, if you chose to do the mythical "Ruta 40". All worth when Fizz Roy appears in the distance in front of you. It was love on the first site... no matter in which direction I trekked, I could never drop my eyes off that pure beauty...

Bariloce

After two and a half months I've finally put on my 3,5 kg pure leather German trekking boots and started to trek Patagonian picks and valleys. Just fantastic!
Unfortunately, no pictures can capture the real beauty of the nature here

Penisula Valdes

I've never even dreamed to come so close to a whale and be surrounded by so many penguins, but it happened on Penisula Valdes on the coast of northern Patagonia!
Check here :))

Uruguay

Uruguay welcomed me with a stunning sunset and immense calm. In the days that followed it nicely surprised me with a chilled out atmosphere, happy people and fairy tale places…
I walked the streets of Colonia del Sacramento, an old well preserved colonial town; been waiting on the beach of Punta del Diablo for fishermen to return from the sea with fresh fish and shrimps for my dinner; wondered over fairylike village of Cabo Polonio, the village inhabited by more sea lions than people and illuminated by millions of stars but no electricity during the night and yes, had the best stake ever in Montevideo, the capital.
