Wild Gorgeous Friendly Patagonia


Shelly finds the eponymous store in the region
We've enjoyed vistas and visits in Patagonia, all along the southern provinces of Argentina and Chile.  One rainy day, we trekked along lakes and rivers before arriving at a typical casa where we were fed local specialties and entertained with dance and song.  A great lunch with roasted lamb, Chilean wine, and pisco sours.   Another day, we found rushing waterfalls, emerald lakes, and snow-capped volcanoes in the bright Patagonian sunshine.  For more on the geography and culture of this special place, CLICK HERE.   A truly beautiful land, friendly, wild and free.  Patagonia.
