Northern Chile And Argentina
Salta was the first City i arrived in
argentina, after a 12 bus from the border. This city was a shock
to me. after 4 and half months of 3rd world country, finally
you see a modern city, with no beggars on the streets, modern
cars and all the welfare of a western civilization (almost).
we rented a car and drove around salta's district for 2 days
- a cloud train and the 7 color mountain.
after salta i continued to cordoba. 2nd
largest city in argentina, it has great parties. Mendoza was
next - very scenic town, lots of plazas and trees.
From mendoza i crossed over to Chile
- straight to santiago. Now this city is sweet. A homey kinda
capital, with lots of street show and nice people. try the new
subway, its way cool.
From santiago, we're heading south, to
Pucon. didn't do anything there this time cause of the rain,
but the next time i was there after my trip in the south i stayed
2 weeks...
Through the amazing Chilean lake district
full of volcanoes, waterfalls and lakes i crossed the border
once more into San Carlos de bariloche.
This town was built for 3 things: meat,
chocolate and ice cream (and ski in the winter).
Straight
to buenos through viedma - where i visited a nice sea lion reserve.
Buenos Aires is just amazing. gigantic. you can wander around
the street for days on end and you never get bored (you're bumbed
on heaving to return all the way to the hotel though...). Been
to a great nightwish concert as well!.
From Buenos i flew to the southern point in the continent -
USHUAIA!
