Ushuaia, Argentina

On March 2nd after an overnight layover we arrived to Ushuaia (from Rio).

Ushuaia, is the southermost city in the world! From here we start our way up north through Argentina and Chile.

In Ushuaia we did a few day trips to a Laguna, Glacier, Canyon, rented a mountain bike for a day to go up a glacier and down a nice track back to the city.
We also did one 2 day trip (called pass of the sheeps).
In this trek there was a couple, and 4 girls who asked to join us. For the 4 girls it was the first trek ever.

We knew it was a risk getting into this.. But how can you say no to 4 smiling girls who seem to be in desparate need of help?!

As we were reaching our camp at night, it started raining and as we kept climbing it started snowing. We arrived to the camp when it was snowing heavily all over.
At the camp site we met a couple of locals who had a fire started already, that helped us start our own, and warm up.
The girls were in panic (and cold and tired), afraid that we will be stuck there and not able to go back due to the snow. Oren and I were pretty sure we will not have any problems, but were not able to calm them down.
The next day, we woke up to snow all around us, and we made it back happily and safely..

The locals envited us a few nights later for Asado in one of the guys house (who is a chef in a local restaurant)..


From here, on March 11 we continued to our next stops - Punto Arenas and then Puerto Natales in Chile...
