Argentina and Chile 2004

Since this trip I fell in love also to the southern part of Latin America. This solo travel included fascinating 11-day walk toward Cerro Bonete through very dry puna region where no human, but nandu and vicunas were encountered. The second part of the trip was held along southern part of the Andes with some active Chilean volcanoes and fascinating Nothofagus forests.
