2023 02 Buenos Aires to Antarctica

Trip planning and everything else it took to reach there.

The Capital of Argentina, a base we used to explore this part of South America. A colourful city, a melting pot of cultural and political history, and an excellent place to savour everything from street food, best of Argentina beef cuts and great wine.

A modern "omakase" version of an Asado ....
Brilliant food, wine and high energy showmanship.
Making your own Chimichurrim, picking your handcrafted steak knife, pine cone smoked meats, hotshoe caramelised pancakes ....

Indeed, this is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. A 2-day trip crossing between Brazil and Argentina so that we can truely feel the sheer power from both sides.

Day trip to Los Glaciares National Park from El Calafate.

Road trip to cross the border from Argentina to Chile.

Glamping in Patagonia Camp to explore the Torres Del Paine National Park.

El Chalten, our base for the next 3 days of hiking, cycling and kayaking

An unplanned additional day in El Calafate, flamingo spotting and an excellent dinner.

The End of the World Town, a short stay here as we sorted out all the pre-boarding logistics to embark upon the Antarctica

14 days on-board G-Expedition, the same ship and crew that took us to the Northern Arctic pole, will now bring us across the Antarctic Circle @ 66°33′ South.

Disembarkation in Ushuaia, an early flight back to Buenos Aries ... we are not done with the trip yet, 1 more night till the flight home, in the mean time ....

San Telmo Market and Around

Where Eva Peron "Evita" lays at rest among all the other famous and powerful folks of Argentina.

That pretty much wraps up this trip
