Still alive

The last 2 weeks it was a bit quiet. We were facing no phone coverage and ample internet availability while camping and hiking in El Chalten. Beautiful trekkings in the Fitz Roy mountains, and thereafter rambling on Ruta 40 heading North and visited Cueva de los Manos

Now we are close to the Chilean border in Perito Moreno. Tomorrow go Chili Chico and then
1000km gravel to Chiloe en route to Puerto Montt where we have to be on December 17th
to pick up Marco's Mom

now we are heading for the Carratera Austral to Chiloe

We are in El Calafate / Perito Moreno

2 days of visiting Perito Moreno. Overnight camping in the park, unfortunately at a distance from the glacier as camping in the parking lot is not allowed anymore and they simply wait till you leave, but even from a distance it is great and cool to see first thing in the morning from you window.
Now going to El Chalten in Argentina for more glaciers and hiking

Torres del Paine NP

Two 'wanderfull' days of hiking.

Although the wind was fierce and we are in full winter outfit we are enjoying ourselves with the shorter hikes in the park. Maybe we try a longer one later this week.....

Very pleased

Although he spend another day repairing things in the camper in the end he was very pleased. Not because everything was fixed but with his homeland brew beer....

From Tierra del Fuego to Chile

After our visit in Ushuaia and the Tierra del Fuego National Park, we drove back to Rio Grande and later on the Porvenir, Chile to take the ferry across Magallan Strait to Punta Arenas where we are now. Our next stop will be the Torres del Paine N.P, but we need to prepare first with sufficient food, water, gas,diesel and do our laundry.

Lago Fognano (en route to Tierra del Fuego NP)

Beagle Canal @ Ushuaia 

            

We arrived in Ushuaia

After 2.5 months, 8000km and  a broken clutch we arrived in Ushuaia. The last part through Tierra del Fuego is a nice trip, a winding road over the mountains still covered in snow. We are now facing the Beagle Canal and the city (and some wind as usual).

We can't go more south, from here we turn around to go North into Chile.

We are almost there

There being the most southern point of our trip. We were already at the most southern point of africa and the most southern point of new zealand, so now it is time to go to the most southern point of south america. Of course it will not be THE most southern point but just the one you can reach by normal roads.
We are in rio grande now and will go to ushuaia tomorrow. We heard that there was still snow there so we might have some winter fun in spring!
