Heel veel mensen hier zijn heel nieuwsgierig van waar we komen als ze ons tegen elkaar horen praten. Soms vragen er gewoon mensen op straat van waar we komen We moeten toch wel een heel raar taaltje hebben s Middags fietsen gehuurd om naar een wijn en champagnehuis te gaan. Het ritje was toch dr http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-662858.html ok after an overnight hostel in San Juan a place that has some streets a cathedral a tower and a supermarket we headed towards San Agustin being a central point for trips to the parks of Talampaya and Ischigualasto. The hostel booked here advertised itself as being perfect for our needs. The only thing it failed to mention was that it was not exactly clean. It is difficult not t be rude f http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Agustin-del-Valle-Fertil/blog-621467.html So why all of the suffering to get to San Juan Well near there is another national park this one called Ischigualasto or Moon valleySo we woke at 5am. Like I said it is near but not close still another 3 hours in a van. Anyway we woke early and had breakfast stale bread and coffee. And then jumped into the van and headed off to the national park.Wow another truly spectacular ev http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-582270.html Oh the inhumanity of it allWe left Bariloche around 1pm on the overnight bus to Mendoza.Anna had done her research well. We used the company Tramat it is the cheapest company she could find. You dont get dinner or anything special but since all of the buses are basically the same and we were used to making sandwiches for dinner and lunch we went for it. Anna decided that we needed to h http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-582269.html The two national parks Ischigualasto and Talampaya are just so beautiful that I can't really describe it with words. There is no use trying.A few other things that have happened during my trip to San Juan province I got adopted by three Israelis on the way and I am still traveling with them my camera broke down in Talampaya national park it cost me a fortune but I could fix it in SaltaThere http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Agustin-del-Valle-Fertil/blog-486808.html Endless blue sky and the landscape turns from green to yellow and from yellow to red.

This birthday couldn't be more different to that cold snow white morning in 1982 that Joy once told http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-468970.html HiFrom Cordoba we made our way toward two national parks Ischigualasto and Talampaya. To get there we took a night bus from Cordoba to San Juan and upon arrival to San Juan we learned that we will have to spend there half a day as the only bus to San Augustin will leave at 1400. So we turned the bus terminal cafeteria to our home for a couple of hours spending the time on schooling in http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/Ischigualasto/blog-461378.html San Juan is one of the most western provinces in Argentina bordering with Chile and occupies a mountainous region. The area is dry with little precipitation and where the temperature during summer can rise to unbearable level especially when there is a 'zonda wind' blowing through the surface of the land. It is a province in Argentina that is full of sunlight most of the time. Note Zonda win http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-433906.html After a fun few weeks in Cordoba it was time to move on. The next two weeks would be two of the most exhilarating yet exhausting weeks of my entire life. The experiences I had will carry me for quite some time and the people I crossed paths with and the things I witnessed are truly unforgettable.

Eventhough we only had two good days of good weather our stay in El CHalten proved to be worthwhile. To see Fitz Roy in its glory was something i had ben waiting for a long time. And here we were faced eye to eye...in all its stillness it stood tall and proud. Thousands of people come and go http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Juan/blog-407598.html There is no direct bus from Mendoza to San Augustine de Valle Fertil so connected in San Juan.San Juan was a pleasant stop over and gave us a taste of a smaller Argentinean city. We are starting to look more and more like foreigners as we go north. In the main square a guy asked to take a picture of our blue eyes. It actually came out really nice Right after that a group of school children http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/San-Agustin-del-Valle-Fertil/blog-401085.html In an effort to make up time we had skipped Argentina's San Juan region only to realize that it contained a National Park we really wanted to visit. So we traveled 400km back north to the town of San Agustin de Valle Fertil.San Agustin de Valle Fertil is a small town surrounded by scrub land that acts as a gateway to the Ischigualsto National Park. We know it was going to be small when we boarde http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Argentina/San-Juan/Ischigualasto/blog-395534.html
