MORE Chile and Argentina Pictures



There's a poem somewhere between these two pictures, I'm just not sure where.


Burnt trees leading the way.....  (The park is still recovering from a forest fire from 2011)


I got across this bridge, but only by talking myself through it.


A view of tourists walking across the falls Los Glaciares National Park.  It is the end of summer there, and thus it is the end of the dry season.  In another a few months, this will all be water.













The condor got its food, and flew off.





More hanging glaciers.



A spare ice cube on the walk at Los Glaciares National Park, and I just thought this looked pretty.

Pepe Le Peu did NOT disturb our walk, but we did quiet down.


In 1895, Hermann Eberhard discovered the Cueva del Milodon Monument,
or at least is credited with discovering the prehistoric remains of the Giant Sloth there.



Later, other remains were found and it is recognized that about 11 thousand years ago, our early ancestors would have lived in this cave, trying very hard not to die from the cold.


That was where fire remains were found.



The local beer.



An homage to the gaucho, a national symbol in Chile of the cowboy.


A view of the steppe.


Drinking Fernate Mixta at the Ice Bar in El Calafate, Argentina.
