Now the time has finally come. We start the journey north, which is also our journey back home. We will take the bus for 10 hours, including crossing the border and taking the...

Now is the time. We have arrived at our final destination to explore on this trip. After that, we only have to go back to Germany through Punta Arenas, Santiago, and Sao Paulo....

After a hearty breakfast with all sorts of homemade goodies (and for once there's even fruit!!), we set out to explore the small town. We quickly go through it and take a long...

After the hot days in BAires, the cool, windy air feels really good when we arrive in Río Gallegos! We already know the city, so we just walk to the beautiful spots by the water...

Yes, it is indeed a somewhat strange feeling to be back here. Especially because we never expected it on our last visit. But when you travel, things often turn out differently...

When the alarm clock goes off at 6:30 am and the rain couldn't pour any harder from the sky, the mood sinks a bit. The boat crossing is not a cheap undertaking, not to mention...

In Cochrane, we almost give in when we are at the bus station with Steve (for some reason there is a whole new terminal for one bus a day, but well...) and buy a ticket for him....

From Coyhaique, we continue to the 100km distant Villa Cerro Castillo in 4 different cars. A small village located at the 2,675m high Cerro Castillo mountain, to whose lagoon we...

After almost 3 months of our journey, we have been able to discover some cultural and scenic treasures and are impressed by the places we have already traveled to. We have met...

After our hitchhiking marathon from Chaitén to Coyhaique, we settle into our rustic cabin to cozy up for Christmas. And that's exactly how Christmas will be: cozy! On the 24th...

The bus ride from Puerto Montt to Chaitén via Ruta Bimodal is incredibly beautiful. It takes a total of 9 hours, but more than half of that is spent on 3 different ferries...

Our 4th Advent: Getting up early, a cramp in the thumb (from hitchhiking), 6 cars, 13 Chileans, 450 km, 12 cows on the road, a funny fat bumblebee, many waterfalls, 10 km on...

The journey to Chiloé, a 180km long and 50km wide island, begins with a 9-hour ferry ride from Chaitén to Puerto Montt. Sounds long, but it is (especially compared to bus rides)...

On the third Advent, we want to answer a question we are often asked: 'Where will you spend Christmas?' And the answer is: We don't know yet. We want to take the bus heading...

Fortunately, we once again find very friendly Argentinians who take us back to Esquel from Los Alerces National Park and drop us off directly in front of our hostel. Hitchhiking...

We receive numerous messages from home, which constantly reminds us of how stressful the pre-Christmas period is for many people and how it has been for us in recent years....

As planned, we want to take the bus to Esquel from El Maitén on Tuesday, and after a few attempts, we actually find the only kiosk that sells bus tickets. However, we are sent...

The reason for our detour to the small town of El Maitén is the so-called 'Trochita' - the old Patagonian Express. A narrow gauge railway with a steam locomotive that has been...

We wish you all a wonderful first Sunday of Advent! Take some time to relax and don't let the Christmas stress get to you :)

After just two hours drive through the fantastic lake landscape we reach the alternative town of El Bolsón. It has 25,000 inhabitants, but feels much smaller and very calm. On...

After just about 2 hours of flight, we have overcome the 1540 km from Buenos Aires to San Carlos de Bariloche, it's amazing how quickly one can travel from one place to another...

We are very lucky that we can stay in the house and garden of Jan's friend's mother, thanks to very lovely people. That means, we have the house and garden all to ourselves for...

Once across Argentina: From Chile's capital Santiago, we want to cross the huge country to the next capital: Buenos Aires! For that, we have to cover almost 1,800 km and we want...

From Valparaíso it's just a stone's throw to the 6 million capital of the longest country in the world. The almost 2-hour drive goes through lots of greenery, forests and...

After a stuffy night on the bus from La Serena, we arrive too early at the bus station in Valparaíso, at 5.45 am instead of the promised 7.00 am. Normally, you would be happy if...

After 5 weeks of traveling, it's time for a little interim post. We have to say that we are having a blast traveling. We enjoy (almost) every minute, are happy about everything...

After the planning of the upcoming days in our fisherman's hut without internet is a bit difficult, we trust the statement of the fisherman's wives and let ourselves be taken to...

We made it and arrived at Veronica and her husband's, the Pescador (fisher), place! The taxi driver actually knew them and took us to the mostly deserted bay in Pan de Azúcar...

The air is dry, the lips are chapped, breathing is difficult, and the sun sizzles from the sky.. This is it, the driest desert in the world - the ATACAMA. Already on the way...
