Andes Lakes Crossing - Chile to Argentina - 2005

In January-February 2005 we visited South America before and after our Antarctic Cruise.

49-days - Melbourne - Auckland - Buenos Aires (Argentina) - Ushuaia - 10-day Antarctic Cruise - Ushuaia - El Calafate -
Perito Moreno Glacier - El Calafate - El Chalten - Puerto Natales (Chile) - Torres del Paine NP - Chilean Fiords ferry - Puerto Varas -
Lakes crossing - Bariloche (Argentina) - Buenos Aires - Auckland - Melbourne

This 2-day, 3 lakes, 5 bus trip is an unique experience through stunningly scenic, panoramic countryside
 from Puerto Varas in Chile to Bariloche in Argentina.

In the middle of this scenic trip we stayed overnight at the Puella Hotel in Chile.
In a beautiful, peaceful setting, the hotel was over a 100 years and had an old world charm about it.

The next day we crossed into Argentina.




















We had another boat cruise on Lago Nahuel Huapi to Puerto Pañualo.
Finally the last bus ride to our hotel in Bariloche. A lovely way to cross The Andes from Chile to Argentina.
