CANAL DE BEAGLE, USHUAIA | ARGENTINA #5

Starts a new day I am here now in the port of Ushuaia and I am going to board a boat To go on an excursion as I mentioned to you yesterday through the Beagle Channel So nothing I'm just barely on time because it's leaving already but anyway I'll get there fine So nothing else I think it's going to be a really cool day you'll see We have already set sail from the port of Ushuaia It's going to be about four hours of tour I'm doing it with Canoero company which I haven't finished yet But anyway everyone tells me it's the best because it's the only one that takes four hours There are others that take five [hours] and you'll say well if the trip lasts longer that's better isn't it But the problem is that you see the same thing just that this one seems to have the colonies Something strange I don't know maybe something like that the closest penguins But anyway I'll leave you the one from Canoero which is the one I'm using And nothing then you should check and the one that interests you right Well let's get started Let's look at several points of interest from the Beagle Channel It is the most well-known area of Ushuaia And I love this area I mean I love it because it's near the End of the World Lighthouse It is closer to the Falkland Islands Then what is seen here behind is Cape Horn It is the Cape Horn obviously Then further south is Antarctica But being here for me is a dream really it's a dream to be here I'm done here in Ushuaia the second day I am now at the airport here in Ushuaia I don't know if it's visible but there's the terminal The thing is I'm sitting on the floor because flight 50 has been delayed 50 minutes Many flights are delayed On this trip thank goodness I don't have any layovers or important things to do Just after the flights because otherwise I would be missing a lot of things You can't trust anything here And nothing so now what I'm going to do is take a very short flight For about an hour and a bit to Calafate which is my next destination It's a little further north If you see it on the map it's very close but for example If you want that is the best way to go from Ushuaia to Calafate or vice versa It's by plane because the other way would be by bus It's a bit more expensive or rather a bit cheaper Half price but the thing is it's not worth it because it's like 20 hours of travel And on top of the 20-hour trip there's also the matter of dealing with everything along the way Through the road you pass through Chile that is Argentina is in the middle of Chile And then again Ushuaia Argentina all this area of Tierra del Fuego So the issue is that when you have to go through Chile you have to go through customs and border controls and in Bolivia with Chile there are already problems it takes a long time it's very slow Then it's a beating I don't want I don't want to endure So the best thing and if you've looked at the whole world it tells you the same thing It's not worth it for what you save by enduring that beating It's better to pay a little more for a flight and be in one hour instead of twenty Then what I'm going to do is land in Calafate and go straight to Chaltén It's even further north three hours away I have a transfer booked that is waiting for me to sleep in El Chaltén tonight It's going to be a tough journey getting there but well I'll get there I'll sleep And tomorrow I'm going hiking in El Chaltén which is an area Trekking is a Chaltén is a well-known area for trekking There are peaks like Fitz Roy for example and many lakes to see But anyway I'll explain as I go along And nothing else I'll wait here a bit at the airport and then we go to Calafate I have finally arrived here in El Chaltén I have been sleeping a little in the van But anyway it was like three hours of travel in the shuttle from the airport to Calafate And there I am I have arrived here El Chaltén is like a very very small village They all feel almost like hostels guest houses and so on I haven't seen much either because there are a lot of people I arrived at midnight but okay At my hotel I had a mini heart attack because it was closing There was no one it was like closed and the doorbell was ringing the phone was ringing there was no signal Well I managed to get it it was close so nothing I'm already at the hotel I'll show you the room It's quite good because it's such a huge bed covered all with paper flowers And here is the bathroom for shower that's about all I came to Chaltén Everyone here comes for the same thing hiking So what I'm going to do tomorrow I mean it's already super late I'm going to go to bed now so I can start early tomorrow because I'm going to do a trek that's about nine or ten hours in total Round trip that must be really cool But I want to start soon so it doesn't get too late Because then I won't stop In the afternoon I have another transfer and since I'm going back to Calafate So nothing I have to be for that train So no I get much more wrapped up I sleep more I don't even know what I'm saying I'm going to sleep Let's talk tomorrow
