El Calafate is even more beautiful than I imaged. The town is in the perfect setting on the border of Lago Argentino, which is fed by glacier meltwater. I went down to the lake to capture the sun setting behind the town. Those shots are nice too, but I really like the pattern of the […]
Will Hike for Beer
After my experience at Buena Birra in Buenos Aires, the brewmaster Ariel told me that I had to try the craft beers in Patagonia. He gave me a list, and that was one of the things I planned to do during my evenings in El Bolson. But the days are for hiking. I have to […]

Yes, I have finally left Buenos Aires. I arrived in Puerto Madryn via an 18-hour bus ride. It is much warmer than I expected, and the water is beautiful. Although I was sad about leaving behind my friends in Buenos Aires, it is refreshing to be in a very small town and see stars at […]
I Finally Left Buenos Aires
I have finally left Buenos Aires. Well, not the province or even Greater Buenos Aires but what they call La Capital. Since I had to move into a hostel for a week between apartments, I decided that this would be my week of day trips. It was super easy. Hopped on a train for the […]
