Will this be a Fairytail? Maybe not even if it sounds almost like a fairytail to me. Touching pinquines and llamas with their own will, super...and all the marvelous landscapes on top of that. What more could you expet from the trips of you life?
It was some six or seven years ago I finally put into practise one of my dreams that is travelled fairly extensively in Chile and Argentina. In the south-north-east-west. also crossing the Chilean-Argentinian border couple of times or so.
To reach from Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego Argentina in Chilean Patagonia Punta Arenas we took early morning a bus from Ushuaia. By the way, have you listened to the record of the Argentinian singer and songwriter Leon Gieco "De Ushuaia a la Quiaca"? Aqui puedes "bailar" con Leon Ciego. So the video is calling you to join in dancing ...As I heard Leon Ciego singing in live some years ago in Argentina it was absolutely one of the inolvidable moments of my life...Well, the trip and the scenery from Ushuaia to Punta Arenas was as interesting as I thought, but maybe some of you do not like the "loneliness feeling" and the ever-green scenery of the route...But I myself as a Finn, I liked it very-very much. We crossed the Strait of Magellan by ferry...
...and soon our bus drove through the 2 San Sebastians.
Yes, there is a place called San Sebastian in Argentina and also in Chile, so on both sides of the border in Patagonia! Up to that, from Punta arenas you can take a flight to Antarctis, if you wish so and have enough financing for that...
In Chile I was faced with the wonderful world of the local Fauna! If you see such many pinquines and llmas at a time, I bet you do not forget ever.
Having stepped once again from Chile to Argentina and having travelled in Argentina some hundred kilometers there was a marvellous bordercrossing ahead, in the route from Mendoza to Santiago. Try it once in your life.
The bordercrossing is unique by bus as well as by plain. By plain I have done it already if not ten then anywat more than 5 times. Every time such wonderful views.
