( I lived in Buenos Aires for 9years and Bariloche for 2 years, up until 8 years ago.) | Today i had the brilliant idea of whilst i was going to do a lot of mountain walking in the Patagonia region, cross the Andes. I'd like to do it all by foot, but perhaps is it a better idea to hitchhike? please any information on possible routes by foot, i am fairly fit and have a strong mind for these things so i don't mind if the route even takes two weeks to walk. I couldn't find any routes online only guided tours and roads. Thanks a bunch! Santiago.

Have you considered biking? Try the crossing at Hua Hum which involves a ferry ride and is very beautiful. You could visit the Huilo Huilo reserve on the Chilean side first. | Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
