My Visitors

Tuesday 8 December 2015

2011 and 2012

I got a bit distracted over these years.  Did a fair bit of travel but it would be a major exercise to document it all in detail.  Instead I'll give a brief (and undoubtedly incomplete), non-chronologic listing of a few places I went to.

  • Northern Argentina - including Belen, Londres (Ruinas de El Shincal), Chilecito, La Rioja, Aimogasta, Tinogasta, Hualfin, Amaicha del Valle (Museo de la Pachamama is fantastic, as are the ruins at Quilmes), Cafayate (great wineries), Salta, San Salvador de Jujuy, and the road to San Padro de Atacama in Chile
  • Southern Argentina - Villa la Angostura, Bariloche, San Martin de los Andes, Junin de los Andes
  • Southern Chile - Valdivia, Puerto Octay, Lake Llanquihue (Yan-key-way), Puerto Varas, Puerto Montt, Lake Todos Los Santos (and the magnificent view of the Osorno Volcano), Castro (on Chiloe Island), Puerto Saavedra, Santa Cruz wine district.
  • Northern Chile - Calama, Antofagasta, San Pedro de Atacama, Loa River Valley, the Lasana ruins, Tocapilla, Iquique, the Quebrada de Camarones, Arica
  • Peru - Tacna (where you can find Tim Tams in at least one of the supermarkets!), Moquegua (the Ruta del Pisco), Arequipa, Juliaca (including picking up a hitch-hiker on the altiplano), Puno, Lake Titicaca, Ilave, Juli, Desaguadero (highlight!!! not), the road between Desaguadero and Moquegua, Lima
At the end of 2012, I moved back to Australia with promises of working through Asia.  Fools dream that was...
