Planning a Trip to Patagonia

In a ny adventure activity how you dress can make a big difference on whether you have a great time or not. If you feel uncomfortable, too cold or too hot most probably your tour experience won't be as good. Due to the changing weather, and to enjoy your trekking or hiking experience I recommend you bring the following items:
• A windbreaker jacket 
• Comfortable trekking boots or shoes, rubber soles are best 
• Sun glasses to protect your eyes from the sun on summer and spring 
• Sun screen on summer and spring

If you going to el calafate, go to the american backpackers,  the best backpackers in south america. The place is magic, the people are so nice and... honest. I already had an excelent impression before that happened. What? I left the hotel took my bus to chile when I realised I forgot my money belt with 2000 euros in cash in my bed!!! I tried to call them before passing the border but there were no signal. When I finaly got them on the found I couldn t believe it. They found it (they could say there were nothing, I would never go back there anyway) and to avoid me to changes  my plans in my trip and have to come back to el calafate, they went to the post office, bought an envelope and gave it to the bus driver so he could bring it to me on the next day!!!When I proposed to take some money to thanks them, they refused. We were in Argentina and 2000 euros is quiet a lot of money for them, there was no ID or papers in the moneybelt only money and they gave it back to me. Not sure at all the same would have happend in europe. Thanks a lot  again for your honesty and I definatly recommend that place... 

El Lago Puelo ! que de souvenirs me ramènent à ce lac. El bolson, petite ville "hippy" - Argentine- On tend le pouce un instant, un pick-up s'arrête et nous dépose à l'entrée du site. Le temps d'acheter des tickets pour un hors-bord et nous voilà parties! Les vagues produites par la vitesse du bateau nous arrivent en pleine face, nous sommes trempées mais heureuse et hilares. Arrivée sur l'autre rive, le gars nous dépose, on doit revenir deux heures plus tard ou longer le lac durant 4 heures. On choisi la deuxième solution. On se ballade tranquillement et puis là : un panneau frontalier indiquant que deux mètres plus loin nous arrivons au chili. C'est amusant de se dire qu'au milieu d'une forêt c'est une borne de deux mètres de haut qui fait office de frontières on rebrousse chemin et marchons longuement dans une forêt "préhistorique" ou presque, c'est à dire que l'homme n'a rien coupé, arraché et c'est pour ça que l'on met du temps tellement la nature a décidée de nous faire faire des détours. Mais le mieux reste quand même de voir des photos ou d'y aller, parler ne sert dans ce cas, à rien!

Mucho viaje para llegar a un lugar en donde no hay muchas cosas por hacer. Si buscas tranquilidad en uno de los sitios más alejados de la tierra, Lago Blanco es tu lugar.

No perderse este lugar. El lago es un espectaculo y Chapelco, el centro de Ski es uno de los mas lindos de Argentina. Tambien hacer el camino de los 7 lagos que une San Martin con Bariloche, es una de las maravillas del mundo.

Mucho frío, pero muy seco, no se siente. El cerro Chapelco es un muy buen lugar para deportes invernales. Conviene ir en temporada alta para evitar las colas en los medios de ascenso. Hacen descuentos a estudiantes

The world's end! It's nicer on winter. It's a small town, with small houses, with an incredible view of the end of Andes and the entry of the Atlantic ocean. You can make a trip boat from there to know the Beagle channel and the differents animal's islands.

Don't miss the museum "Presidio Ushuaia" the former prison.
Really interesting and not at all boring... we spent all afternoon there!
