Adios Bolivia - Hola Chile and Argentina!!

Over the next of couple of weeks we will be hopping in and out of Argentina and Chile. The Andes mountain range split’s the two countries that run the length of the southern part of South America. We start in Santiago, head all the way down to Ushuaia (the most Southern city in the world) and then back up to Buenos Aires. Both countries are much more developed than the countries we have travelled through so far (so much more expensive!!) and the highlight in terms of sight seeing is going to be the Patagonia region which covers the far south. The map shows alot of the places we will be visiting and we are going to travel around 8000km in the next 5wks!!! It will be getting much colder as we head south so I think more clothing and shopping may be required!!!

We started off with a brief skip through Chile picking up a small town called San Pedro. It was a nice little town with a hippy feel and we had some nice wine and dinner with the group in a cosy little restaurant. The next day we headed for another border crossing to Argentina, heading towards the city of Salta to spend New Years Eve there. So that was 4 passport stamps in 48hrs!! One out of Bolivia, one into Chile, another one out of Chile and one into Argentina!! The passport is definitely filling up!!!
