El Calafate is to be the next stopover for the main reason of visiting the incredible Perito Moreno Glacier. Everyone must see this amazing and still advancing glacier, in their lifetime!
Fruit Police – welcome to Chile! Ushuaia to Puerto Natales
April, 2011
Our 11 nights/12 days stay in Ushuaia could of been longer but with the ski season around the corner, it would have got prohibitively expensive…even snowed for our stay!
“Wait-a-while” in Ushuaia
April, 2011
Ushuaia is definitely worth a mention as it is stunningly beautiful and well-worth the hardship of around 52 hours on 3 buses to arrive here from Buenos Aires – no hardship if you fly but more expensive!
Bus lag and flat arse! Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia by bus and ferry
April, 2011
I’ve coined a new term…”Bus Lag”!
If there’s such a condition, I was starting to feel it. Not only in my butt but also in my brain and still another 12-hour trip ahead from Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia! Almost expected pressure sores and callouses to form on my butt from the hours of sitting on busses…
“El Pinghuino” experience – Puerto Madryn to Rio Gallegos
April, 2011
Four companies service the Pt. Madryn to Rio Gallegos route daily with Andesmar three times per day (13:30, 18:00, 19:00), El Pinguino (17:00), Tramat (10:40), and Don Otto (13:30).
Decided to go with a different bus company (El Pinghuino – AR$324 Semi Cama) as the ticket “seemed” better value-for-money; comfier seat but Sin Servicio (without food).
Bus Virgin – Buenos Aires to Puerto Madryn (18-hour bus trip)
March, 2011
After haggling for a taxi (AR$30) from Centro in Buenos Aires, arrived at the Retiro Omnibus station for the 18-hour bus trip to Puerto Madryn, 2 hours earlier; told to be there an hour before departure – not sure why.
