- We revisit our favorite national park in Argentina, embracing the familiar and taking a much-needed break from technology.
Join us as we go rock climbing around el Chaltén, visit Perito Moreno NP and celebrate Christmas in a cabin. The video is also a moment for reflection, on the joy of traveling for ourselves, not for the views. Sometimes, going back is just what you need.
Enjoy the Ride!

Remember when we mentioned taking some time off for Christmas? Here's how it all began!
and we would love to hear from you...
Do you enjoy revisiting your favorite places? And how often do you unplug from technology during your travels?
It was a brave rock climbing. good job
Thank you
Beautiful as ever, the colour of that lake reminds me of moraine lake in Canada 🇨🇦. Happy Christmas and safe travels.
I think that was my favourite episode since the very beginning of your journey. Maybe the 2nd visit to the farm in Namibia, which I also really enjoyed. Great stuff amigos. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's a pleasure to share a glimpse of our adventures 🤗
enjoyed the video! morning fog breaking up and sun quickly showing a hot day to come. Your breakfast in the tail end of video is inspiring...hungry for second course now
We ate like the Romans in the National Park. 😋 Thank you for watching!
AMAZING 👏 PLACES OFF ARGENTINA 🇦🇷,,BLUE LANDY ADVENTURES going ON NATURES BEAUTY, PLACES OFF ARGENTINA 🇦🇷, ADVENTURES FROM AFRICA 🌍 🌐AWESOME 👌 🌐👍
Some spectacular places in Argentina. Absolutely one of our favorite countries in the trip!
Thanks again for a super video, and good change in character that showed what you had enjoyed and not chasing a tick-box list. Maybe you should have done it more often, for your own enjoyment. But don't get me wrong. I really appreciate all the effort you guys have made to show us such amazing sights throughout your whole trip, not just South America. Just fantastic, and I think I will be re-watching many episodes !!
I think a balance is key! We love to see new places and we do get bored if we stay long in a place. But normally we get bored , because there is no possibility to do the things we like, climbing, surfing, etc. I believe as well we should have done it more often, but that also would have stopped us from seeing some of the most epic locations. So, yeah, balance is good!
Enjoyable episode, glad you were able to return to favorite places. You have to be true to yourself otherwise you won’t be true to others. Take care.
Hey! Absolutely! It was the best decision we could have made. We enjoyed it a lot as we knew what to expect and could just concentrate on having fun!
I feel fortunate to have been about to follow along on your visits to these parks. The Refugio Rene Negro in particular is a dream spot. To be able to get out of the wind and weather in that place with a fire and good food, wow. You must have slept well there.
The Perito Moreno NP is a gem. And the Refugio Rene Negro is really a dream spot. We had an amazing afternoon and night in that cabin, 10/10. ❤️
Aw some of my favorite memories are of going back to places all ready visited . For more enjoyable new memories in a favorite place . Clad to see you all living life to the fullest . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. 🌎🍻👍🏼😁..P.S. that’s the best way to truly see and visit the world over landing . Awesome video . 👍🏼
And always experience it in a new way. We loved it even more the second time, as we could concentrate more on the fun and less on the logistics and ticking off the boxes🤟
@@Thebluelandy ..🍻😁👍🏼
Merry Christmas in June.
Not the best weather, but you are doing this journey your way - that is what matters - the rest must either fall in line or .. .. .. .. fall off. Enjoy.
This is so true! But it's funny that sometimes we kind of forget this... Thank you 🤗
11K - very cool!
Hey Rob! Many legends decided to join us in our adventures!
ola meus amigos valeu por estes lugar lindo abraço
🤗🤗🤗🤗
I am not a specialist in video travel and only occasionally (very often without being informed - or even touched - afterwards) look at what is going on there. A marketplace for products, vanities, exaggerations and misdirection; but technically almost always up to date.
In your reports, however, the message is really touchingly individual and genuine! After each video, you have to reappear to find back to the current environment. 😊
I think you get very close to the buried sense of travel (in however many personal nuances it may manifest).
(Your mountaineering really impresses me; have no experience at all. Only walked up Mount Kinabalu [Sabah] once. The first part in the hot and humid jungle and then demoralizing icy wind at the top).
Whatever else you are planning, I hope you can do it with the same honest attitude as before!
Wie der Dichter sagt: "Das Leben nennt der Derwisch eine Reise....". Und die geht von Aussen nach Innen - und manchmal auch umgekehrt! 😇
Gute Wünsche!
Roger-T.
We try to be as genuine as possible! Sometimes people find us boring, but the thing is, we are not always doing entertaining things, or fun things and that's also part of travel. I don't want to give a wrong idea of what it is, or romanticize it.
We also don't like seeing people selling us stuff we don't need, so you will not see us promoting products in our channel. If you hear from our experience with gear it will be because we have tried it and have an unbiased opinion about it.
Thank you for watching and commenting about these topics!
Great videos .. must be hard 3 people living out a Defender
Thank you! It's not easy in some ways, but easier in other ways. But in general it's great to share the road!
Maybe I shouldn't talk since I'm guilty of doing the same but it's making me nervous watching you climb without a helmet. You can bang your head on the wall pretty hard depending on how you fall, and a falling rock from above could be the end. Really interesting point about the value of returning to your favorite places! It's not as if we can fully experience a place with only one visit!
Yes, not the best. That's why we took care of always putting the feet on the right side of the rope, so in case of fall we would not have a bad whip. But all the gear is back in Europe, including the helmets. And buying new(very expensive in Argentina) was an overkill in our mind.
I believe it's important to come back to do what you love, specially in such a trip where normally everything is constantly new!
I once offered you guys a free website. Guess you didn't see the message. Your videos would be more optimized over long term with a simple SEO optimized website that will push the traffic to your channel.
Your journey, your presentation, production and everything is so inspiring I wish more could see
Hey!! We didn't see your message. We appreciate your readiness, but we are not interested at the moment. I understand that it would optimize our SEO, as well as other things like magazines, interviews, blog posts would improve our reach in general. But we are not interested in spending our time on this and if we do create a website, it will be from a place where we want to give some value to others, not just to have one.
We really appreciate your offer, and if in the future we decide doing one, we will take you in consideration!
Im sure this is months late, but parque patagonia in chile is also super nice. Hope you checked it out too
Yes! Everybody told us that! But in the end we didn't visit due to crazy wind!
At the cabin you stayed at for Christmas, there was a tree with orange stuff on it.
Is it a fruit or a some kind of fungi?
Thanks again for the great video.
Hey!! They are parasitic fungi and they are edible! But we don't trust ourselves on this topic so we didn't change the Menu and kept the steak 😅
Ich finde das klettern in euren Videos immer sehr spannend. Das muss doch unfassbar auf die Arme gehen. Habt ihr Abends dann sowas wie einen "glücklichen" Muskelkater ? 😅👋
25:30 ... und warum hat die Frau die Gewalt über das Licht ? 😂
Nach den ersten Kletterstunden haben wir es natürlich gespürt, aber nicht nur in den Armen und Schultern, sondern sogar in den Beinen! Die Kontrolle über das Licht, haha, weil ich derjenige war, der die Lichterkette mitgebracht hat. Dann hatte ich die Macht!!!
@@Thebluelandy Hätte nie gedacht das so eine kleine Lichterkette so ein gemütliches Licht machen kann. Was für eine schöne Unterkunft !
Dear BlueLandy i noticed you have wrestled with placing and replacing the lifting strutz for the roof. Have you found a high quality replacement and also what is the optimum lifting placement?
Hey, yeah we replaced them, the roof got too heavy… we were running a quit heavy roof load. I got a bit stronger ones but I guess I might need to go back to stock if there is noon the roof rack. I sadly don't have a brand for you, we ordered them online in Germany and my brother brought them to us. This was the only chance to get the big ones and even so the eyelets where wrong 🙈
