26.03-29.03.11 Villa La Angostura-Villa Traful My next stop was VILLA ANGOSTURA, the last stop before crossing the border to Chile again. Villa Angostura is a tiny and touristy town with 11.000 inhabitants and close to the NATIONAL PARK LOS ARRAYANES. The hostel "Hostel Italia" where I checked in for three days was very nice and the staff was very helpful. On my first day I walked up to the MIRADOR BELVEDERE and further on to the CASCADA INAYA...

Bariloche 15.03. - 26.03.11 After a three hour bus journey from EL BOLSON I arrived at the bus terminal in BARILOCHE at 8pm. From there I took a taxi to the "Hostel San Antonia" where I checked in for three nights. The hostel was so empty that I had the dorm for myself for the entire three nights.

El Bolson / Two Day Hike 22.02.-14.03.11 When I arrived in the tiny town of "El Bolson" (27.000 inhabitants) I fell straight away "in love" with this "Hippi Pueblo"!

26.02.-12.03.11 Wwoofing at "La Confluencia" Even though that the Lodge "La Confluencia" was owned by the couple Mark and Ellie from California and everyone over there would talk English, I decided to work as a "Wwoofer" for one week at the Lodge. When I arrived on Saturday, 26.02.11 Ellie brought me up to the Wwoofer house and told me to settle in and start working on Sunday. Ok…it sounded good for me and therefore I unp...

Esquel - NP Los Alerces 18.02.-21.02.11 After approx. 23 hours bus ride I arrived in ESQUEL. Esquel is the starting gate for the "National Park Los Alerces" and has around 30.000 inhabitants. I was still very sad and confused when I arrived at the hostel "CASA DEL PUEBLO" and was constantly thinking about the Estancia Nibepo Aike and why I have left that beautiful place. My plan for Esquel was to go hiking in the NP Los Alceres for a...
