Next stop from Salta was San Pedro de Atacama, Northern Chili. A beautiful oasis in the middle of the Atacama Desert with less than 2k people living there. It was GREAT to get away from the city vibe and slowly wonder around this beautiful place in the middle of the desert with stunning mountains surrounding it. Luckily neither Frank or I had any kind of cold otherwise, due to the Swine Flu fuss made, we would have been quarantined at the Chili - Argentinian bord...

Soooo Chicos after Mendoza we arrived in Salta and I was 100% better again, which was exciting. Travelling when you are ill sucks big time! I don´t really have much to say about Salta, we were here for 3 nights and only came here for two things: 1) Tren a las Nubes, one of the highest trains in the world riding through spectacular scenery and 2) To get a bus from Salta. What sucked was that they weren´t reopening the Tren a las Nubes till a week or so after w...

Hola again, So it was great to get out of the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires after two weeks and arrive into Mendoza, a town famous for its fantastic Vino Tinto that it produces.

Anyway,...

So from San Pedro De Atacama we headed off on a 3 day 4wheeldrive tour through the Atacama Desert ending up in Uyuni, South Bolivia. The 3 days were basically spent with 4 of us being driven around in a pretty ancient, but in good condition, Toyota by our only-Spanish-speaking driver transecting through the Atacama desert and stopping at many very different features the dryest desert in the world had to offer. To sum up the stuff we saw and experienced: 1) Loa...

Hola Chicos, I am finally updating this after an eventful 3 weeks! From Puerto Iguazu we got an 18 hour bus to Buenos Aires, a city I was very excited to visit after hearing numerous people rave about it being the "Jewel of South America" and reading great things. A city with great steak, nightlife, women, architecture and people. We decided to spend 2 weeks here and rent an appartement for that time, for the price it was only a little more than a Ho...
