I hitched hiked down to Punta Arenas. It was a long journey
passing through the Patagonian windy flat lands. The first night, I end up in a
little Argentinian village, Tres Lagos. My last driver offered me a place to
stay at his brothers little house. Nice family.
The next day I get picked up, hitch hiking, by a Chilean politician.
I arrived in Punta Arenas and met my host Oren, his friendly
family, and a couchsurfing American couple Blake and Catherine. While in Punta
Arenas I did some Antartica investigations, went to a park, bought some camping
equipment, and had a look around the center. The last day, I met/ had dinner with new couchsurfers staying with Oren.
A few days later I headed out to Ushuaia, Argentina. Interestingly,
I got picked up by another Chilean politician.
My Cs host didn’t respond to my
messages when I got to Ushuaia, so I checked into a hostel, Refugio
Mochilero. The entrance is full of water tanks of turtles and fish.
After having had a look around town and spending a few days
in Ushuaia, I camped out in Tierra del Fuego National Park for a few days. This
is the prettiest park I’ve been to on my south America travels. Magic.
I met several lovely people in the park, including these 3
children and their 2 mothers. We sat in an open field, with views of mountains,
a river, and cliffs.
