Week 9. Crossing Patagonia (Yes, Still There - It Is Huge!)

I am slowly going North in Patagonia, and it is getting warmer and warmer, but the landscape does no change: steppe, and steppe again.

Excitement Of Accommodation Search

Accommodation is the second biggest expense in travelling, but with smart planning (yeah, sure) and a bit of luck one can find very cheap and pleasant roof (bed?).
I am in Gaiman now and if Trelew had one hostel that I could find through search engines (hostelworld, booking, etc), Gaiman does not. The place is, however, full with B&Bs. I was able to find 3 to book online, and addresses for another 3 with phone numbers.

Week 8. Out Of Service

Tuesday, 18/03. Puerto Natales
We came back from the trek on Monday, saw lotls of guanacos (southern version of lamas with long eye lashes) on the way when were not sleeping. Interestingly, have not met a lot of wild life in the park, just another campers going in both direcions. We actually were walking as a huge group with other people who started W-circuit at the same point as us. Now we keep meeting these people in town, feels like we know everyone around!

Week 7 Continues. Towers Of Pain Aka Trekking Patagonia

Torres del Paine, which we named Tower of Pain, is a national park in Chile, where we spent 5 days/ 4 nights, 66.5 km with 17 kg on my back fighting Patagonian weather.

Joy Of Trip Planning

I have decided to write a few posts about my life here: how I move, where I stay, what I eat, what I carry with myself, so you have better insight of my travel.
El Chalten was a perfect example for trip planning, as it was probably the most challenging place to plan the next move with its lack of internet. But it is pretty much the same story everywhere I go.
