Arrival in Ushuaia and a short trip to the national park. This is pretty much the end. I've got a few from Buenos Aires but they were all taken from the bus so aren't great.

Beaver
Gratuitous beaver shot. Sadly out of focus and not very clear as it was taken through the bus window.

End of the Road
The Panamericana ends here. Theoretically, you can get into a car here and drive all the way to Alaska (there is a short gap in the rainforest, though). It's only about 48,000km...

Your photos are definately one of the positive weighing factors in my going to So. America with work!

*grins at penguin*

Bear in mind that this (and the photos from Chile before) is the far (and scarcely inhabited) South. As you'll only be seeing the major cities, your experience could well be different.

I quite liked Santiago. It was nice and while quite hot, it was a dry heat and reasonably comfortable. Buenos Aires was horrible, hot and extremely humid and the city was in comparison to Santiago filthy, even the nice parts (rubbish and garbage bags stacked and strewn about the pavement, lots of litter everywhere etc.).

The people were really open, friendly and easy-going (not to mention gorgeous) everywhere, though.

The amazing telescopic neck! I saw it with the head down first and suddenly this long neck appeared! That was kinda scary (and funny at the same time). :o)

ja in die richtung war das sicher noch viel mehr scary und beeindruckend als wenn so ein langer hals sich "einfach mal" einfährt.
