Month: March 2022

It is Sunday, 27-March, and we’ve spent the last several days in San Carlos de Bariloche in the lake district in Northern Patagonia. The city of about 130,000 people sits on the shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake. What stands out most about the area for us is how similar it is to much of the…

On Sunday, 20-March, we were in the middle of a stop-over in Buenos Aires doing some trip planning and visiting parts of the city we hadn’t seen on our first stop. One of the areas we had intended to visit was the Contera Sur Reserva Ecológica just east of the polluted channel, financial commercial area…

So big news…we figured out the embedded video feature. Yes, baby steps. Anyway, here are a couple of the promised baby seal videos. They were ridiculously cute, I’m sure we stayed there watching them for almost an hour. Also, we have gone back to the penguin post and added in the video there as well,…

On 8-March, we moved on from Trelew and the Northern Patagonia region further south to El Calafate. Unfortunately, all flights lead through Buenos Aires with very few connections directly between the smaller cities. We spent the day flying from Trelew north to BA and then back further south to El Calafate. The small town of…

Hello, we’ve been unable to post for a few days for all our moving around and spotty internet access in some locations. We just finished up a post for the Animals of Patagonia to share some of the photos we’ve taken of the wildlife. After our stays in Puerto Madryn and Gaiman in Northern Patagonia,…

We spent about a week in Northern Patagonia in the Chubut Province. As mentioned in the penguin post, we visited Peninsula Valdes and the area south around Punto Tombo. It was a wildlife paradise, and we saw a lot more than just penguins. Here’s a selection of what we were lucky enough to see and…

Okay, the moment I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for–here come the penguins! We visited penguins in two locations in Chubut Province in Argentina. One area was Peninsula Valdes, which we accessed by car from Puerto Madryn on Wednesday, 2-March. It was a 3hr drive on endless dusty dirt roads, so I have to say…

Finally getting to why we ended up in Nordelta and the crazy manufactured marina around the crumbling Wyndham hotel captured in “Well, how did we get here?“ One of the desk clerks at Hotel Magnolia is from Tigre and suggested we go see the river delta community and culture. People actually live on, in, and…

Hello! Working on more detailed posts with pictures. Here’s a quick update of where we’ve been the past few days and where we’re headed. Goodbye to BA–For Now All roads, and flights apparently, run through Buenos Aires. We left Tigre/Nordelta on Sunday, 27-Feb and spent one more night in our home away from home, Hotel…
