Getting Ready to Go

November 24th

This will be our fourth trip to South America in the past 6 years. So to say we have enjoyed ourselves on previous visits would be an understatement. This time we will visit Uruguay, Argentina, the Falkland Islands and Chile. 

In 2008 we spent 6 weeks travelling the length and breadth of Argentina and Chile using every conveyance imaginable to see the interior of those marvellous countries. This time we will travel by boat from Buenos Aires on the Atlantic out to the Falkland Islands then down to the tip of South America (Tierra del Fuego), around Cape Horn (don't miss that turn or the next stop is the Antarctic), then into the Pacific and northward up the coast of Chile  to Valpariso where we are punted off the boat. Should be fun.
