I hear you man!

Yes it is a quite a bit of a walk. Lol. But good excercise! Thanks for sharing.

Why is that?

Thanks! Any questions just let me know! Cheers.

Thx

Thanks

Haha. I would disagree. I personally have been to a good amount of countries & it really depends. You’re generalizing 330million people to be fair. AND as someone who has lived abroad extensively I’d agree with you that there are richer cultures than the USA but that doesn’t mean the USA has no culture. Have you been to the USA? and what makes you feel there is no culture exactly? I’m curious.

@ first of all let me apologise for hurting your feelings and those of Americans. I’ll do that with these words: the thing I like best about America is the people, I truly love them and to prove it I have been to America five times. Let me try to get my meaning across. I do believe that by intention, yes I do wear a tin hat,americans were educated into a world of their own. They were and are isolated. They have very little exposure to old world and other cultures except through immigration that is why you have your own ‘’football’’ and measurement system, your fahrenheit and your 16th of an inch. And you are taught a system of reading whereby you can only understand English and cannot pronounce a word that is not English. I have seen talkshow hosts literally unable to read a word just by its syllables. Everywhere in the world,in the west at least, any word even Polish can be read by its syllables. it is not the fault of the American people, but of those who use the American state as their own private Militia. Americans are victims: just look at their health statistics and their size. I have been to 80 countries and speak seven languages.

@inttubu1 eloquently said. AND happy to hear that you actually have been to the states before criticizing it because I’ve met many people who criticize but have not actually been. This is a long long debate. All I’ll share is I do believe the U.S. has a culture, and I’ve debated this often with many foreign friends. Every country has a culture , and in the U.S.’ case it’s a young country that was built on immigration so of course it’s not going to have a singular identity like say Japan when you think of history/culture in that light. All the best. Thx for the commentary, & enjoy your travels!

@@DontWonderExplorel concur. You can’t exist at least in the modern form for 400 years and not have a culture. In fact, the culture proves my point that America has been isolated. I’m into currencies and used to be amazed that no mention at all is made of them on American TV.

Thanks!

Could be true! Have to love the discounts

lol. Thanks for the feedback & watching the video. Hope it was helpful!!

Yes. It definitely is. Plenty of options in Puerto Natales.

Good to know! Are people using it more than other messaging apps/ does everyone send voice messages?

Thanks for sharing!

Yes they are different. Beautiful in a different way in my opinion and it seems like more hikes away from ski resorts, but to be fair I haven’t lived in the mountains in Italy or anywhere else in Europe so I’m sure one could find more hikes away from the crowds

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

That’s great! Are you referring to Bueno’s Aires or visiting Argentina in general? Any favorite foods you always have when visiting?

@@DontWonderExplore B.A. is much safer than many US cities and probably more safe than Columbia for sure. My favorite place in Buenos Aires to hang out and eat is Buller's it's right in front of Recoleta Cemetery. I always have there over fire pepperoni pizza with olives and Honey beer that they make in house. There's a few other places that we dine at but believe me when I tell you you'll find numerous places with great food in B.A. look for those packed with people the locals know where to go. I'll be there over Christmas with my 6 year old daughter if you want to meet up in Recoleta sometime. LOL Also trake the double decker bus tour you'll love it!

Thanks for sharing! I’m not there at the moment and won’t be there for Christmas this year, but thanks for the offer and I hope you enjoy it!

Personally I’m not a BIG fan of sharing the straw or bombija , BUT I know it’s cultural. You?

Lucas! How’s it going man? Hope you’re well! Thx for the message and yes down here in NZ at the moment exploring! Where are you these days?

@@DontWonderExplore I'm in Paris for a while managing a restaurant soon ! Let me know if you pass back in europe

Nice! Hope you’re enjoying their adventure. Sounds good. Will do!

You’re welcome! Glad you found it helpful! If you have your own car it’s most likely possible depending on how early you’re willing to start (not subject to bus schedules and all) & if you’re in good shape/a conditioned hiker then you can move pretty quickly through the hike. For me the hike was average difficulty… so not too bad. Nothing technical at all. I’d just chart this out on Google maps if you’re willing to rent a car and drive then I’d say that’s your best option for a quick “long” day trip!

@@DontWonderExplore My thought was to do Perritos Moreno which is 8 hours that leaves the hotel which I will be staying at the same one you did and be back before 4 PM. There is a bus that leaves El Calafate with the same company that does Perritos Moreno to El Chalten at 6 PM so I thought I'd take it and get to El Chalten by 9 PM and spend the night in a hostel there and get up around 6 AM or 7 no later and do the trek which would get me back to the hostel way before 6 PM that evening which is the time for a return trip back to El Calafate to spend the night back at America Del Sur Hostel and fly the next day to Bariloche.

Sounds doable! Only thing I might confirm , if it was me, maybe is with the Perito Moreno company asking if they are ever behind schedule getting you back into town in El Calafate and if not it sounds like you’re good to go and this plan would be solid!!

Yes WhatsApp “free” features are wrapped into many phone provider plans in Argentina in my experience, which is different from the USA. And also WhatsApp calls over WiFi are free to anywhere in the world when using data. Otherwise, Skype is a good prepaid option for calling landlines or businesses that don’t use WhatsApp abroad.

🤣 yes there is the connection! I agree! ☝️

Thanks for adding this comment!

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I actually have a lav mic on in this video, but need to re-adjust the levels for future videos! Cheers.

Haha yes FaceTime sounds ideal! And waiting four hours is too much!

Haha. That’s a much further walk too… I think 🤔. They are different. I liked both of them for their own character!

Hahaha yes I really enjoyed living there!

Thank you! 🙏

@@DontWonderExplore I may be moving to Argentina, soon, so it’s possible I will get to visit the “creepy” named place.

@Oracle4DeAtlantis lol

Not sure. Sorry! I would check on the website of the tour operator Hielo Y Aventura: here www.hieloyaventura.com/en Enjoy!

Hello Darrell, thanks for your message! I’ll leave this one to the community here “argentines currently living in Argentina” to see if they can give you some good advice here! Best of luck!

Hahaha would be a cheaper way to travel! Lol

I can’t speak to January specifically… we went in March for this particular trip covered in the video: Our group: Yes, we were advised to always book ahead of time to be sure we had one to spend the night. We downloaded the app and reserved a spot at every place we visited. It worked great!! (Hope that’s helpful)

Thanks for sharing!!

I’m sure you are, and any other questions just pop them in the chat here and I’m sure one of us can answer them! Happy travels!! Cheers.

Thanks! yes, it’s a cool spot! Unfortunately, we did not stop there. We only stopped at the place in the video as it was a quick visit. Maybe Red Star Burger will be on the list if we make it back over that way!! Thanks for the rec!

Nope! Not at all. Just pure travel advice! Hope it helps you out!

@@DontWonderExplore ya it did, been researching Argentina visit. Thank you

Welcome! Enjoy!

Welcome & thanks! Try to provide as much detail as I can. Take note on the comments to this video as i believe some parts of the process have been updated! Cheers!!

Welcome! It was a lot of fun so I’m sure you’ll enjoy!! another video coming soon breaking down in detail my O Circuit experience! Might be helpful! Are you doing the O or the W? OR are you only going to Argentine Patagonia?
