Dopo due giorni in cui il tempo è stato così così, finalmente, la mattinata si presenta bene. La cosa mi da la carica e così, alle otto meno dieci sono pronto in strada ad aspettare il pulmino. L'unica cosa che mi indispettisce un po' il fatto che della colazione, che secondo quanto dettomi sarebbe stata servita a partire dalle sette, non c'era traccia. Conto di mangiare qualcosa al parco. Ma intanto i minuti passano e l'autobus non arriva. Arriva finalmente una delle tipe del B&B che mi invita a entrare per fare colazione. In cuor mio penso che si poteva presentare in orario e quindi sto per rinunciare. Ma in fondo dalla sala si vede la strada, vedrò arrivare il bus. Non mi siedo neanche e la signora mi chiede il perché. Le dico che tanto ... read more

Hola! I just got back from the national park, which was amazing. I didn´t know what to expect as i hadn´t read too much information or seen many pictures but it was amazing. I wish I could put up pictures but I seem to have forgotten my cord to hook my camera up to the computer. sorry. Yesterday we hiked a very easy but very beautiful trail along Bahia Lapataia and then camped overnight. The place where we camped was cool. It looked like they mowed the grass there because there were so many rabbits. The amount of wildlife we saw was amazing. Tons of different types of birds including parakeets, flightless ducks that paddle with their wings when you scare them, huge bright red headed woodpeckers, and today an enormous condor, lots more too. Also, ... read more

Oh the mountains! Hiking in Patagonia just like I pictured it! After a very restful night in my Freestyle hostel and a great breakfast, a bunch of people from the hostel took a bus to the Tierra del Fuego NP to go hiking. The bus drops people off at various trails, which makes it really easy for those independent travelers without cars. Carla, a geologist from Spain, and I had decided that we would use the great weather (sun and not to windy) to attempt a hike up the Cerro Guanaco Peak in the park. It is a very steep uphill climb, first through forests and tundra and eventually over snowfields to the peak at 973 m. The trail was extremely muddy, in particular in the tundra like landscape above the tree-line, but the vistas and ... read more

Nastal cas dat vale utulnymu hostylku Lili v Puerto Natales, kde to bylo uplne super, kamaradska atmosfera, musel jsem klukum dokonce vnutit penize pri odchodu, protoze by na to sami jinak zapomneli. Autobusem jsem se nechal odvezt do Punta Arenas - mesta na brehu Magellanova prulivu. Jak na me Puerto Natales udelalo moc milej dojem malyho mestecka na konci sveta, tak Punta Arenas na me udelalo dojem presne opacnej: osklivy mesto, na brehu pustyho prulivu. Jedinej duvod proc tam turisti vubec jezdi jsou asi tucnaci. Ubytoval jsem se v hostelu Independencia, kterej patri chlapikovi jmenem Eduardo. Eduardo je takovej malej revolucionar, barak ma pomalovanej zvenku obrazkama s protiamerickejma motivama, vevnitr potom vmestnal spoustu vlajek ze sveta a rikal: "Chybi mi tu ceska vlajka, musim pripomenout svymu kamaradovi, aby mi ji konecne privez" Tak z nej vylezlo, ... read more
