ZeTrip… the end
Week 31 – How to summarize what we lived for 7 months ?! It is hard and I’m still thinking about how I will answer the question people will ask in a few days: “How was it ?!”
Chile in a nutshell
Week 30 – We are spending our last week in Santiago where we have organised the sale of our car. That’s it, we are no longer overlanders but just backpackers… with a lot of luggage!
Charming and mythological Chiloé island, Chile
Week 29 – Rich in history and myths, Chiloe was a very pleasant island to visit.
Carretera Australe, Patagonia, Chile
Week 28 – I have the feeling that we did not enjoy this beautiful road as we should have…
Carretera Australe, Patagonia, Chile
Week 27 – This week we reached the Carretera Austral in Chile, landscapes are so different!
Argentina in a nutshell
Week 26 – This week we crossed for the last time the border between Argentina and Chile. Over the last 5 months we have spent 80 days in Argentina, the country of beef and parillas (barbecues), but there is a lot more than that and it is the ideal moment to review it!
Let me introduce you to el señor Fitz Roy!
Week 25 – This week we met the 2 big guys of the Argentinian South Patagonia: el señor Glaciar Perito Moreno and el señor Fitz Roy.
El majestic Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
Week 24 – This week I wanted to talk about the very good quality of the museums I’ve visited in Tierra del Fuego and Punta Arenas. But something happened…
The incredible conquest of the territories of the « End of the world »!
Week 23 – This immersion in Tierra del Fuego (with the city of Ushuaia on the Argentinian side) and in the Magallanes province (with the city of Punta Arenas on the Chilean side) allowed me to discover how much the will of the governments in place in the 19th century was strong to gain new territories.
Ushuaia, el fin del mundo, Argentina
Week 22 – Ushuaia is the southernmost point we had planned to go to during our trip, and probably the most southerly I will ever reach in my all life! It was mythical for me and, again, I’m not disappointed!
Puerto Natales and Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
Week 21 – We spent the week in the city of Puerto Natales and in THE FABULOUS Torres del Paine park!
Patagonia, the real one!
Week 20 – Here we are! I’ve been dreaming about this part of the world for years and here it is, here I am, I am in Patagonia!
Ecolodges and campgrounds, South America
Week 19 – Since we have acquired the car, we have camp more often than we have stayed in hotels. The rooftop tent is in fact really comfortable and very easy to open and pack. We don’t regret our choice… for the moment anyway, but we will have to see further south in Patagonia where the winds might discourage us from staying outside!
Lake District, Argentina
Week 18 – Having left Pucón in Chile, we crossed the border and spent the week discovering the wonderful Argentinian side of Lake District.
Volcanoes and national parks in Chile
Week 17 – This week, we drove in the Sur Chico region of Chile. We are now surrounded by green mountains, volcanoes and dark blue lakes.
Driving south toward Patagonia, Chile
Week 16 – These last days have been basically focusing on driving south toward Patagonia, the main goal of our trip.
Lagunas in the Atacama’s desert, Chile
Week 15 – A little extra again! There’s a lot to see around San Pedro de Atacama, the nature being so aride and extreme. We decided to go to few of the Lagunas south of the city.
Road from Argentina to Chile via the Paso de Jama (4200m)
Week 15 – Arrived in the northern part of Argentina, we decided to cross west to Chile in order to join the town of San Pedro de Atacama. The crossing of the Andean plateau at 4800masl was spectacular!
Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy province, Argentina
Week 14 – Continuing further north of Salta, we visited the Jujuy province. On the road of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, you cross little indigenous villages made of adobe houses all surrounded by incredibly colorful rocks!
Salta province – A little extra on the variety of its landscapes, Argentina
Week 14 – Doing a little exception to my rule of publishing only “1 pic a week”, I really want to share how diverse was the province of Salta in the north of Argentina.
