On the way to Montevideo I stopped in the beautiful town of Colonia del Sacramento. The oldest town in Uruguay, founded by the Portuguese in 1680 and a colonial beauty.

After all the time of hiking an staying in little villages it felt surprisingly good to be in a big city. I really enjoyed the first well made Cappuccino for a long time. And spend quite some time sitting in little cafes, having a coffee, frozen cappuccino, a cake or a toast. Mhmmm.

I am still shocked by the poverty and working conditions, especially of the children in Bolivia. So I decided to ask for your help! I will double every donation from you that reaches the non profit organization Kindernothilfe (with the keyword “Z 4491, 4542840”) before the end of May 2011 (fine print: maximum total amount from my side is 1000 €).

A weekly ferry supports Puerto Williams (and the island). Aside form the cargo, it also take a few passengers through it’s amazing journey along “fjords, glaciers, everlasting snow-covered peaks, rivers and seas”. An amazing landscape of water, mountains and the sky.

I really liked Tierra del Fuego. So I decided to stay there a bit longer. And went to Puerto Williams. Did two great hikes in a pristine mountain range of Tierra del Fuego.

Claudi gave me one good tip more before leaving: “Google for Karate and Ushuaia”. Which I did! First result was the webpage of the Shotoyuku Ushuaia. So I went there on Friday evening…

After the Torres del Paine we decided to go all the way down to Tierra del Fuego, the Land of Fire. An amazing archipelago of one big and a lot of smaller islands far down in the south of Chile and Argentina. First stop for me was Ushuaia, which calls itself the southernmost city in the world.

Next stop was Puerto Natales, the town close to the Torres del Paine National Park. Of course we decided to hike the whole circuit ;-) And the back loop was really worth the extra days.
