The way up to Laguna de los Tres is among the most beautiful and toughest hikes from El Chalten. It is about 12km long one way ( 24km return ) which wouldn’t be a long hike in itself but there are 2 steep sections. Trekking websites indicate that the whole hike go and back should […]
There is a lot of information available on El Chalten online, hence I am not going to replicate that, I am merely trying to give you a 2017 November update. There is an ATM in town which hasn’t been working while we were there. I suspect it is out of order most of the cases […]
Gobernador Gregores lies between Perito Moreno and El Calafate. It is located on road 25 which is an all paved, good quality alternative to Ruta 40. We discovered this town when we took a detour off Ruta 40 trying to stay on paved road as long as possible. This detour will save you around 65km […]
After the drive from Bariloche to Perito Moreno City where we stayed overnight. We left early the next morning to make it to El Chalten in the afternoon. This section of our Patagonian road trip is the most uninhabited one on the way and you can easily drive 400km without passing any villages. The scenery […]

We came by this restaurant while driving around in the Bariloche area and looking for a lunch place. This was the first that looked really nice to try. The restaurant looks really appealing from the outside that what caught our attention. It is a really cool building all built from wood and it has quite […]
Cerro Campanario is a hill about 15km away from Bariloche with the best view over the Bariloche lakes and hills area. Unfortunately it is too far away to walk there from Bariloche city so try getting on an organized tour or rent a car. I drove there myself. There is a chairlift that takes you […]
The first leg of our Patagonian road trip was to cross over to Argentina from Chile. We left from Puerto Varas and drove all the way to San Carlos de Bariloche with a rental car. We had to apply for a cross border permit 3 weeks in advance, which turned out to be a bunch […]
