This is my third church today. There are many churches in Santiago, and this is a quirk Mark doesn’t seem to outgrow.

Next Stop After Uruguay? Chile, Because Why Not?
On Monday, we bought the tickets online for the Wednesday flight. We didn’t need visas and Chile eliminated the reciprocity fee.
The Brutal and Amazing Torres Del Pain(e) Hike
One of the main attractions here in Southern Patagonia is the Torres Del Paine National Park.
The Road To The End Of The World
Patagonia? Neh. Not Far enough. We decided to reach Ushuaia, the Southernmost city in the world, located in Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina.
Going to the fin del mundo is an adventure in itself.
We left from Punta Arenas at 6:30 am. Another short night… Literally, considering it was only really dark at midnight and that it was already very bright when we got up.
Patagonia – Punta Arenas
For us, Patagonia started from above, in the plane. It was almost empty and we had secured a window seat. Huge mountains, rivers of ice, snow, clear blue lakes… The wind was very strong and the ride was rough. We flew above the Pacific Ocean as the pilot was trying to land and we dropped dangerously low. I kept my eyes open, half amazed and half scared. We made it.
Crossing The Andes To Chile
We got up at 4:45 am, cold and tired, having slept barely a few hours. We packed in the dark. I brushed my teeth quickly and decided to skip washing my face with some expensive French product, for once. The water was freezing and of course, no hot water.
We got to the bus station sleepy and cranky. Once the “use of bus terminal” fee paid, we had just enough bolivianos for a bottle of water. We boarded the bus, still dark outside, leaving La Paz behind us. Crossing the Andes, again, to Chile.
