First pictures from South America!

Finally I have the first pictures online from our trip to South America, 2,5 months traveling through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru.

For now you can find the pictures from our first two parts of the trip:

We started in Buenos Aires, spending a week in this amazing city. After that, we took a flight down to El Calafate in the heart of Patagonia from where we travelled to the wonderful Torres del Paine National Park and a bit up north to the cozy city El Chaltén, right below famous Cerro Torre and Monte Fitzroy...

Here are the pictures and some story about Buenos Aires:
