Nice story, nice pictures, I like it too. I promised to tell you about Mendoza: great town. I recommend you to taste wines at The Vines, near the main Plaza de Independencia. GREAT. We went hiking from a little town Las Vegas, which was unfortunately not the best place to start. Head further north to Vallecitos for good hiking in the Andes, but be carefull with the weather though. I am in Salta already, still together with Stephany. We keep in contact, have fun!

nice!
Best Panorama I have seen in recent memory. Am I partial because I love Chile? Perhaps, but who else has posted a juicy pictures of a smoking volcano summit?! The rest of the pics are great too, tons of people post this trip on travelblog but few have attempted to capture all the sights- big and small- along the way. Good job!

Chile - yep it's a fantastic country
It's a shame I'm travelling late in the season - there are so many things I'd like to see and do down in Patagonia... thanks for the comments :)
