We haven’t reached the end of the world, aka “La fin del Mundo” in Ushuaia, but trust me, this place feels much more remote than Ushuaia does. Once we left Esquel north of us, it’s on for a land where men are pretty rare. Most tourists will hop on and off of planes to Bariloche, El Calafate or even Ushuaia. Then you’ve got the more courageous, who are taking busses in between each po ... read more

After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires. Come to visit....there is so much to do here! ... full info

NO HAY?
Wow Peter...in a truly magic part of Patagonia...true wilderness. I hope you have spare petrol in the back as well. We drove to Bajo Caracolas to get petrol...but the pumps had a sign "No Hay"...ran out of petrol...only saved by the spare in the back. Gotta say I'm delighted there are still rough sections on Ruta 40...kind of a shame the bitumen is being laid...that section north of Perito Merino is insane.Love your pictures...Cave of the Hands...the rugged & flat landscape...your kids are sure lucky their Dad takes them to such diverse locales. Looking forward to seeing where to next.

Thanks Dave...
Gravels are really fun...but when they turn into stones of more than 5cm, I have no fun with my little car....don't tell you how often the car was too low and we "touched" the middle of the "road". Made it to El Calafate with some funny moments... More blogs obviously coming...and for the kids, it's only the first week of the summer holidays...a lot more to come...full of diversity...
