I worked my way back north and am now back in Argentina, in El Calafate. It was a quick 5 hour bus ride from Puerto Natales.
FYI, for any americans who wants to get into Chile, you can avoid paying the $100(US) visa fee if you simply avoid flying into Santiago international airport. You can fly into any other Chilean city or take the bus across the border for FREE! The word on the street is that it´s some scam to get foreigners to pay for the new and shiny Santiago airport.
I spent a 12 hour day at the Glaciar Perito Moreno. A boat ride later, I strapped on some crampons and crunched my way on a glacier for hours! Definitely an amazing experience crawling through ice caves and hopping over deep deep deep brilliant blue cravasses.
Now after 3 weeks of crazy adventures, I´m ready for some real R&R doing absolutely nothing but drink wine and sit around soaking in some sun. Heading north tomorrow!
