If you haven’t visited Bariloche and the lakes district do it was my favourite part of the Argentina-Chile trip in 2017. Hiking there is great and the views are spectacular, there are so many options that the crowds cannot really affect it.

So blessed to be able to see this in your youth. Thank you for bringing it to those of us that can't see it in their lifetime. It's a place of wonderment and such beauty. The monumental slow churning of the glaciers is insanely stunning. Keep the vlogs coming they're great and so are you . Is miss P going to join you on one of these excursions? God bless be safe!

El Chalten has become very popular, and therefore crowded and expensive. I was there with my newly wed wife in January 1998 (there wasn't even all pavement from Calafate to Chalten, so made it a bit more secluded). Camped two nights at Poincenot and Agostini campgrounds. Beautiful and unforgetable experience. Probably better go late summer into autumn. December, January and February are summer vacations for argentineans, therefore crowded.

I was a little scared when I saw you drink the water straight out of that river. Then you stopped and dipped your toes in the river. I said to myself, " And that's why you don't drink river water." Fun episode I like it when the pissed-off side of Paddy Doyle comes out. Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates crowds.

Hiya Paddy. Great intro. The place is buzzing. Great views along your journey. Helpful tips. Wow. The Glaciers are stunning. Gorgeous footage. Your food looked delicious. Great price. Very informative to help others. What a gorgeous hike. Stunning views. Great calling card for someone living in the area to rent out tents for overnight stays. Feeling you with the Buzz Kill. Well done. I bet that last part was hard on your knees. Thank you for taking us along. Great advice for others. I would feel the same. I bet your legs were sore. Nice facilities. Although pricey. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one. Wishing you a great week.

I’m not sure who’s experience was better/worse? I hiked to Fitz Roy, blue sky up until that final uphill to the viewpoint, and then the clouds came in and I couldn’t even see the mountain after all that work to the top! I could see the blue lake and there were only a handful of people, but I think I’d prefer the crowds with the reward of actually seeing the Patagonia silhouette up close.
@sutash9043 2 ай бұрын
Hiking poles are life saviours for me. I wouldn't have been able to do half the stuff I've done without them. And even nowadays unfrotunately that I have plantar fasciitis, they allow me to walk much much more that I would be able to without them. So when I go on holidays I take them with me. They help reduce the weight on my feet significantly. But I get you that the crowds and the noise were off putting. I hike to escape all that, and to encounter it when I hike is definitely quite annoying.

That last part of getting to the lakes reminds me of Half Dome in Yosemite... Just a line of people going up/down, it felt commercialized and kind of buzz killed the hike for me lol. Still great views!

Paddy, I know this is going a little off script, but can you recommend a Thai island minus the litter ? In Koh Kood at the mo and apart from outside your resort, the place is awash with rubbish. Spent 2 days cleaning rubbish from the beach because the locals don't seem to give a toss. Was talking to an Italian today and apparently all of Asia seems to be in the same mess. Any thoughts on any island. Ta

Seriously! You went to a well known tourist town to hike to a well known tourist spot and you're whinging because there's lots of tourists there. Seems like you have the same complaint in a lot of your videos. And to call the other people who have just as much right to be there as you "riff raff"!!! 😂
