I spent my last days in Uruguay in Punta del Diablo and Cabo Polonio, two beautiful spots at the sea side of Uruguay.

After Colonia I went to Montevideo, where I was greeted with a very warm welcome by Martin and his family. Enjoyed the very relaxed and green city a few days until I forced myself to visit the beaches of Uruguay.

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.
4 CommentsI 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 €).

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.

El Chalten was the starting point for a four days hike around the famous mountains Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy. Which included glaciers, glacier lakes, river valleys, and fairy tale forests.

Well, it is quite a long way down to Patagonia. So we stopped in Pucon and Bariloche, both in the lake district of Chile/ Argentina.

After the relaxed days in Valpo it was time for Santiago to meet Rüdiger. He brought all the hiking stuff, so we were prepared for Patagonia…

First stop in Chile was San Pedro de Atacama. Nice, warm city with great outdoor bars. After a trip to the Valle de la Luna it was time to say goodbye to Kevin, my awesome travel mate for Bolivia. I visited the largest open-pit copper mine of the world and headed south afterward.
