Car We just had a regular car. A small portion at Punta Tombo is gravel road and most of the peninsula valdes (once you get there) is also gravel. The roads are good and wide and well graded so a normal car was fine for these trips. Have a good time when you get there!
Antarctica Hey there- Those last minute deals were a bit cheaper when I went in 2005. I had heard the same as you and it was a life long dream of mine to travel to Antarctica... it was $2000 US and I thought that was a fine price to pay for a 12 day trip to a place very few will ever go. What is $L4000 in US? Make sure it's not worth it just to put it on a card and worry about later.... there will never be a better or cheaper time to go...

I think you can rent pretty much all you need in Puerto Natales the town nearest to Torres. Have a great time, it's beaufiful despite the crazy weather!
Lovely I am so happy to know you have been to El Bolson, a place I love. I also stayed at El Pueblito Hostel, highly recommended place to stay.
I have been there twice, I love the city and the surrounding area.
Love, from Argentina.
Great place Puerto Varas Nice story and photo's, brings back some memories as my fiancee and i travelled through this area late 2006. To get from PV to Bariloche we did the day tour involving boats and buses and some great scenery.
No woos! I was terrified! It was great fun but pretty scary so I'm also a big woos! I just pulled on the brakes the whole way to try and feel some semblance of control!!! C x
Oh my God !!! No way would anyone have ever persuaded me to go on that death road - I'm very glad I didn't know about it until you were safe again - yes I know I'm a woos
love Mum xx

espanglish great blog. i've really enjoyed it. i love completos too. whenever avocados are on sale, i buy hot dogs and go to town. good luck learning the language. don't worry about not understanding chileans. you see, you're starting your stumblings into spanish in what is likely the most challenging country to learn it. even native speakers from other countries have a hard time understanding chileans. chilean spanish is a branch unto itself. though it shares certain features from neighboring countries, a unique combination of factors make chilean spanish quite unique and distinct from any other. conjugation is different for informal speech, vocabulary is different, but most of all, chilean slang is peppered with unique slang and idiomatic expressions which no one outside of chile understands. they even dub tv-series when they are sent to neighboring argentina, which is the closest thing to chilean spanish.
anyway, if you can't keep up with chileans, don't feel bad. it'll get easier in peru and bolivia (argentina has its own non-standard archaic spanish).
cheers!
Your jetting around so quick. At this rate your'll be home before we know i and we miss you so thats good for us. Really looking forward to you pics and commentary on Inca trail. Love me x
