It's hard to put into words. El Chalten had everything Patagonia could offer. From cascading waterfalls, sparkling sapphire lagunas, towering snow-coned mountains, thundering glaciers...

To be 100% honest with you, I really wasn't planning on coming to Uruguay... Let alone Montevideo...

If you're in Buenos Aires, a really fun and easy way to explore the city is hopping on a bicycle. Relatively flat, there are a number of cycle lanes and if you're there over the summer months, traffic is considerably less as Argentinians head off for their summer holidays. A free bike is a perfect way to explore Buenos Aires for an afternoon.

I'll be honest, my main reason for going to San Andres wasn't to visit San Andres. I really wanted to check out Providencia. Nevertheless, I decided to spend a couple of days exploring the island whilst passing through.
