I have 4 months to travel between my two semesters here in Argentina...so I have begun planning the next phase...I plan to travel from November 6th to March 10th (approximate dates). I want to go to go south from BA to see the whales and penguins in Puerto Madryn (Peninsula Valdez) and then across to the West of Argentina to San Carlos de Bariloche, where they have the Andes Mountains and skiing and national parks. Then I'll go across the border to the Lake District of Chile, then I will go up through Chile to the capital Santiago de Chile and take day trips to the beaches of Valpariso and Vina del Mar. Next we will go back into Argentina to the Northern cities of Salta and Jujuy where they have lots of indigenous people. Then I will go up North into Bolivia and explore the salt flats in the South and up North to La Paz and Cochabamba then we will go to Lake Titicaca and cross into Peru and go to the ruins of Machu Pichu and the Inca Trail then my two roommates will leave from the airport in Lima on Dec 21, so after they leave, my fiend Eva and I will go North to Trujillo, Peru to spend Christmas on the beach. Next I plan to be in Guayaquil, Ecuador for New Years Eve. So from this point I think we will go to Quito, Ecuador and make our way over to the Northern beaches of Brazil. I'm not sure right now how we will get to that point...I want to spend time on the beaches of Brazil, then later go to Salvador de Bahia and end up in Rio de Janeiro for Carnival February 2nd. After that we will go to Porto Seguro, Floranapolis and Sao Paulo...and eventually end up in Uruguay at Punta Del Este. From Colonia we can take a ferry back into Buenos Aires... if we have enough time and money I want to go to the South of Argentina to Patagonia and see the glaciers and the southern most city in the world, Ushuaia. Then we'll go back to BA for school to start in mid March
that is four full months of traveling....
So...I will start saving money now! (Any Christmas presents may be deposited directly into my bank account!)
