Refugio Jakob and out

And finally, in no particular order, the refugio Jakob (aka San Martin), a Nepalese style tea hut in the middle of the Andes. As always, click on the photos to get a decent resolution image.

The view of the lake from our private beach. Yes, we swam in 100 miles of mineral water, yes, it was cold.

The chocolate shops:

Mountains, Mountains by ze millions

Various lagunas and peaks from the Circuito Chico

La Estancia

Moi, avec steak. Steak grande. La Especial, de facto. No hablo espanol.

Isla de San Martin

Igwazu again, from the Isla de San Martin. Reverse order for these videos, now I'm back at home with a solid internet, this is back at the start in Doz de Igwazu

Tilt your head and wonder in amazement as a river falls off a cliff

Cerro Campanario

The view from the top of Cerro Campanario. This is the heart of the Circuito Chico, and the kind of landscape we came to see -lakes and mountains.

Mirador del Valle

This is a viewpoint over mount Tronador. Wrong way up, anyone know any video editing tools that will rotate this video? Doesn't seem like rocket science, but I can't see anything...

Top of the mountain

This is the panorama from the top of the 500m skree slope we'd just climbed. Skree is hard.

Video time

This is refugio Jakob (aka San Martin), deep in the Circuito Chico. It took us a whole day to hike here, all the way up a mountain, down, up and down again. Duke's of york indeed.

Bariloche

We´re back in Bariloche, having seen the Igwazu falls and hiked round mount Tronador for the last 4 days. There´s a gorgeous hosteria practically under the mountain, expensive by Argentinian standards but cheapish (well, 40gbp) by UK prices.

Today, we´re off to the Circuito Chico where we´ll be chilling out on the big lake. Muchos photos, more to come when (if) I get a fast computer. Enjoy.

Argentina again

We´re back in Argentina, here are some photos
