From Feb to Sep 06 I visited every country except Paraguay and the Guianas (no offence to Paraguayans!). To see an overview, click on the photo to the left then "View Trip Summary". Highlights were Patagonia (Arg, Chile), Cordillera Blanca (Peru) and kitesurfing in Is. Margerita, Venezuela!

24-27 Mar: El Calafate

Arrived at El Calafate on a flight from Ushuaia with my hostel buddies Laura (Arg) and Eva (Swiss). We soon met a third Ushuaia hostel buddy Michaela (Swede) and my harem was complete. Hired a car and drove to the Moreno Glacier on the Saturday. Spent about 6 hours there and saw some chunks of ice break off... It was all moderately impressive until one fell off the size of a block of apartments and made me blaspheme in front of some English kids.

Took a boat cruise to Upsala glacier the next day to see some more big chunks of ice.
