Photo Essay: 120,000 Penguins and Me

February 3, 2012 20 comments

Penguins are simply adorable, aren’t they? Before disembarking at a floating dock on Isla Magdalena (Chile), I had only watched them behind a glass in the Zoo, where a couple of dozens occupied the fake islands and saw their days pass by staring to each other and, from time to time, having a short dive [...]

Photo Essay: The Glacier and The Lagoon (Chile)

January 25, 2012 13 comments

After surrounding Cape Horn and hiking up Wulaia Bay to soak up it’s beautiful and unspoiled landscape, we embarked our expedition cruise towards the Agostini Sound, in the heart of the Cordillera Darwin, in Tierra del Fuego. The region is famous for its numerous glaciers that, in some cases, reach all the way down to [...]

Picture This: A View Over Wulaia Bay, Chile

January 20, 2012 7 comments

Wulaia Bay used to be the region’s largest Yamana aboriginal settlements and is nowadays known for its incredible beauty. As we disembarked and hiked uphill, through a forest of Coihues and Lengas towards the look-out point from which I took the photograph, I realized how much I had been missing this – the peaceful sound [...]

Photo Essay: Cape Horn, Chile (Seamen’s Dream and Nightmare)

January 18, 2012 7 comments

“One sight of such a coast is enough to make a landsman dream for a week about shipwrecks, peril and death.” Charles Darwin, 1834 Cape Horn has been for centuries the nightmare of all seamen, as well as the dream of adventurous travelers. The waters that surround this sinister rock are some of the roughest [...]

Picture This: Tierra del Fuego National Park

January 14, 2012 5 comments

The name Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) derives from Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first European to visit the land in 1520. As he approached shore, he was amazed by the size of the fires created by the aborigines to cook and keep warm. I can hardly imagine how anyone could survive to these [...]

Ushuaia: The Southernmost City of the World

January 7, 2012 11 comments

Before visiting Tierra del Fuego, I imagines an isolated and remote scenery with deep beauty – el Fin del Mundo. When I arrived at Ushuaia, I was surprised by the amount of shops and restaurant selection. This is no wonder, given that Ushuaia lives now heavily from tourism – most of them staying only for [...]

2011: A Year in Review

January 5, 2012 3 comments

While I work my way through the over a thousand pictures I took during my trip to Argentina and Chile, I thought it to be a good time to take a look at what 2011 brought me. 2011 was a year of changes, not only here on 100 Miles Highway – It was the year [...]

Pisco Sour with glacier ice in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile While I’m writing this post, I’m sitting on a plane to Buenos Aires – where I’m spending New Year’s Eve before returning back to Europe, in just 3 more days. Time flies quickly when you’re having a good time, and as such, my [...]

A Very Merry Christmas from London

December 24, 2011 6 comments

I thought Lausanne did a pretty good job in bringing me into Christmas mood last year… but London has nothing to envy Switzerland in this subject – during the last few weeks I’ve been continuously surprised with the city’s lights and decoration! Christmas Lights in Oxford Street, London Imagine leaving your office on a bad [...]

A Thank You Note

December 15, 2011 2 comments

I’ve never considered myself one of the sexy travel bloggers that crowd the top charts . I’m not a frequent blogger and am not exactly a social media expert neither. For this reason, I feel very flattered each time I get a lovely comment, e-mail or tweet about something I wrote. Seriously, it feels like [...]
