After pigging out on asados in El Chalten and being amazed by Cerro Fitz Roy, we headed south to El Calafate, one of the biggest tourist destinations in Patagonia, mainly because of the spectacular Perito Moreno glacier.
Tierra del Fuego is the southern most province in Argentina and in the world for that matter. Just as La Paz is home to pretty much the highest everything in the world, Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, the southern most city in the world, are home to pretty much the southern most everything in the world.
After pigging out on asados at the Dagna farm in Bahia Blanca, we headed south to the the World Herritage site of Peninsula Valdes. Peninsula Valdes is teeming with wildlife and history. There are still functioning estancias on the peninsula and they share this picturesque landscape with some spectacular marine life. There is even the opportunity to spend the night in luxury and style on Peninsula Valdes at the lighthouse hotel at Punta Delgada.
A while back we went to Penisula Valdes, stayed at a historic hotel, got up close and personal with some wildlife and generally had an amazing time. Enjoy the video
As with most good things in life, they all seem to come to and end sooner or later. For the World by Road, one of those good things was having Fernando Bischof (aka Nandor, aka F-Dude) as part of the crew. Unfortunately, Fernando’s stay with us on the expedition has come to and end and it was time to say goodbye. It was tough to see Fernando go because he has been with us longer than any previous crew member on the expedition, over three months, and we all got to become pretty good friends.
