In one of our previous posts, we mentioned that we were going to rent a car for a couple of weeks and drive from the lake district in Northern Patagonia near San Carlos de Bariloche to the Cuyo region in Mendoza Province, Argentina’s wine country. We previously posted pictures of the drive through the Monkey…

We’re at el Fin Del Mundo! -54 degrees latitude with a view of the Beagle Channel from our hotel. More to come . . .

We’ve spent the better part of two weeks touring the Patagonia Lake District in rental cars, starting in San Carlos de Bariloche, then moving on to San Martin de los Andes, and completing the journey to the northern edge of the lake district in Villa Pehuenia some 380ish kilometers (6 hours) from our starting point….

Hello again from Argentina! We’re currently sitting in an apartment on the shores of the of Lago Aluminé on a rainy afternoon listening to the Avs playing the Penguins . . . when the internet is working. Tweeted Conor McGahey and got a mention on Avalanche radio!! I should also mention that we’ve had a…

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…
