Venue May 7 – Argentina
My first view of the cosmopolitan city of Santiago was flying over the snowy Andes Chilean side. On arrival, one thing that struck me about the capital was incredibly green and lush it is, with its beautiful purple flowers in abundance Jacarandas and parks. Step Next was the heat! I packed winter clothes trekking on glaciers in mind, so my first sentence was to buy sandals!
Arriving in the spring, Chile saw its best. Given that it is raining in Chile Lake District over the years, I felt incredibly privileged to witness the beautiful Osorno volcano in its true glory. On the road to Lago de Todos los Santos, visited Petrohué Falls, with its turquoise waters crashing through narrow gorges. Endgame crossing the lake through the Andes was almost strange to return to the bohemian town of Puerto Varas beautiful.
At this meeting the owner of the picturesque cottage Quincho I have been invited to a meeting Chilean rodeo riders exclusively local. To my disbelief, I had the opportunity to attend a traditional pastime memorable.
Upon arriving to Patagonia was like entering the Wild West. Its rugged mountains and landscape my whole breath. A person who coined the phrase "for experience four seasons in one day "is more than likely that in Patagonia at the moment! up early to my ranch in Torres del Paine, I ventured to window. At the signal, the clouds parted and gave me my first view of the same name Torres
It's amazing how a variety of plants and animals can survive in such conditions, hares and many guanacos Of course the iconic Condor! Then began my first real adventure: a trip to the horse that has tested my limited riding skills. The communication was a little hard with my horse, who seemed too eager for me and sometimes hanging on my tail. Winds Patagonia Gaucho and my limited English made for a memorable trip.
Crossing from Chile to Argentina, a journey of about three hours, took me to the shores of Lake Argentino, where he was transferred to the beautiful Los Notros Perito Moreno Glacier base. Opening the curtains the next morning, left me breathless. The prospect of days trekking on the glacier was slightly intimidating all I could think about was the huge chunks that yesterday, I heard crashing Lake Argentino. Equipped with crampons, we began hiking a memorable day in the blue cracks of ice and pools and rivers.
From there, I visited the North Branch and Fathom Upsala past icebergs, only recently separated from the front of the glacier and spent a rainbow that seemed to end in the lake. Arriving at Estancia Cristina, I embarked on a 4WD trip through beech forest to one of the most beautiful I've ever laid eyes on. Three glaciers combined into one, a fluorescent turquoise lake to the melting of glaciers mixing water with sediment. To make matters worse, as I stood there with my pumpkin soup, a condor flies to complete the setting.
Buenos Aires was the end of my trip, a living city and encouraged a lot to offer. The home of tango, the Italian neighborhood of La Boca streets are filled with dancers, artists, and colorful buildings. Attending Carlos Gardel Tango Show on knowledge secret real and poignant story of tango.
