Passport to Patagonia

A Family Photo of an unforgettable journey!
A Family Photo of an unforgettable journey!
What a breathtakingly beautiful area Patagonia is! It is a land of contrasts: with flat arid plains around Puerto Madryn and Peninsula Valdez and its penguin colonies and Estancias, to the awesome glaciers and otherworldly rock formations of El Calafate near the central western border of Argentina. At its southernmost tip are the enormous craggy mountain ranges and tranquil shores, and wooded islands found along the Beagle Channel. Amazing vistas met us at every turn on our trek through this never-to-be-forgotten region of God's world!

Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires

Don't Cry for Me Argentina!

Our overnight flight to Buenos Aires (pronounced 'eye-rees'...I've been mispronouncing it all along), was uneventful, thank the Lord, so we were transported via taxi to our hotel, 'Reino del Plata'. We had time to freshen up before our 10am city tour, which was partially on foot, partially via van.

We are now the same latitude as Cape Town, South …

Mr. Popper's Penguins and High Tea

With about 6 hours of sleep, and lying flat, we had a much better rest than the night before. I can never sleep on a plane!

Our transportation arrived at 4:30am to drive us to the aeropuerta for our 6:50am flight to Trelew, our first destination in Patagonia.

I am too trusting of agencies and individuals, but knew better than to fail to remind …

Could This Be Paradise? Or, 'Home, Home on the Range...'

We began our journey to see the Elephant Seals at 7:30am. Marta met us at Bahia Nueva, our hotel, along with our driver, Ignacio, and began our drive to Peninsula Valdez. We stopped at the Puerto Piramides Visitor's Center, where Marta explained showed us the many charts of flora and fauna we would see on the Peninsula. All the creatures are …

Paradise Lost, the End of the World Discovered!

We reluctantly left the Estancia Rincon Chico at 10am when Ignacio arrived to take us to town. The night was cool, with a gorgeous sunset. The power was off, so the air was still and silent. I slept better last night than I have in a long time!

We drove to Puerto Madyrn, where we had lunch and wandered through the shops. I was in a precarious …

The Footprints of God at the Fin del Mundo!

We were picked up this morning by our guide via bus, and during our 40 minute ride, were treated to the Yerba Mate ceremony. Well, we watched it. ;A middle aged couple brought their Mate backpack, thermos, cup and bobilla to share with the driver and guide at the front of the bus. When we were well on the way, he poured the Yerba Mate into the cup …

Awesome Views at Every Turn...

I don't like to use the word 'awesome' unless it is talking about God's creation, because, truthfully, only His works can be described as such. In this case, and many times on this trip, the word fit perfectly.

Today, like yesterday, we walked up, we walked down, we walked over and around and through. Actually, trekking is a better word. The …

A Day of Travel, a Day to Celebrate!

Today we had downtime to do a little souvenir shopping, and have a bite to eat. This is a special day to celebrate...it's Mario's 16th birthday! Although there is not much going on today, other than travel, we enjoyed a relaxing day. Mario was promised a special gift of his choice from a souvenir shop in honor of his birthday.

We took the long …

Paradise Redefined...a Gift from God

Well, this estancia is breathtaking...and the air, fresh and invigorating. The girls (most from Buenos Aires), who spend 7 months a year running the place for the owners, are so polite and helpful! Two young ladies named Carolina, and one, Cecilia, arranged all our transport, made sure our dietary needs were met, and kept us well informed as to …

Paradise Left and Homeward Bound...

Traveling is becoming a chore for us.  It occurred to me last night, that by the end of our journey, we will have taken 10 flights in a little over two weeks, two of which are red-eye, overnight specials.  Ugh!  As we were complaining, I reminded the others that many years ago, it would have taken weeks, or maybe months to reach our …

We had an initial virtual meeting with our trip planner, Sandra Fernandez, who was great. She was efficient, friendly, yet very professional. She not only answered all our questions, but also addressed our concerns honestly. After our 30-minute conversation with Sandra, we decided to book our cruise with her.
