The Story of the Jhony Hause

MeVoyViajando wasn't born when I decided to travel. It was born when I understood that losing everything could also be the beginning of a completely new life. That's how I opened the doors of a house in Puerto Natales to hundreds of travelers.

The bicerin that wasn't in the guidebook

A man with a cartoon mustache stopped me on the corner by Caffè al Bicerin. What followed was a lesson in hospitality and a reminder of what really matters.

Jhonatan! I read your Jhony Hause story and it inspired me. I'm putting together a Patagonia itinerary for December. Do you think 15 days is enough to do Ushuaia, El Calafate and Torres del Paine?

Hi María! 15 days is perfect. I'd suggest: 5 days in Ushuaia (including the Beagle Channel cruise), 4 days in El Calafate (Perito Moreno + Chaltén) and 6 days in Torres del Paine (the "W" circuit takes 4 days, so you have plenty left for transport). Have a great trip!
