El Chalten 'smoking mountain' is Argentina's self-proclaimed national trekking capital. Set at the confluence of two rivers, with granite spires of Monte Fitz Roy (3405m) and Cerro Torre (3102m). Alarm set for 6.30am its an early start not even daylight yet. It's trekking day! As we arrived late last night and we were too scared to explore ghost town we were on an early morning supermarket hunt to stock up for out hike. Unfortunately everything is closed at 8...

Second day of glaciers : ) this time it's from a 10 hour luxury boat. Here's us all layered up with every piece of clothing we own, prepared for another day out in the cold, when the boat itself has full blast heating on. We look like muppets! We stopped over at three different glaciers, each with different characteristics. The second glacier looked amazing, there was this one part where it transformed from black mountain terrain into blue ice glacier. Str...

5.30am alarm : ( today's the day were all excited for, our minitreking tour. All our thermals, gloves, hats and scarfs cone out of our backpacks today! It's freeezing outside.

As we left it was pitch dark and snowing, the town looked like an imag...

After 2 hours of sleep, waking up at 3am was a major struggle for all. Really sad to leave Beunos Aires and our 'hotel'. I think i could of possibly stayed for a few more nights but any longer and my body would collapse from the crazy nighlife and odd sleep patterns. Reena our grandma was ready to go, but hey we didn't do bad for a bunch of 25-26 years old. Taxi ride to the airport was uber uncomfortable, try squashing in 4 girls with 4 large backpacks and 4 da...

Another late wake-up! We had planned to go to the market but decided to give it a miss as we need to pack our bags. Usually it wouldn't take us long, but Millhouse has really made us feel at home that we have our stuff all over the room! Before packing I need a caffeine fix to get through the day, somehow I ended up in a Starbucks! Honestly everything else was closed : s even the receptionist looked at me funny when I came back to the hostel...promise budget b...
