I suppose we can be accused of calling all trips and experiences memorable. Therefore, I won't use those words now, but you can imply whatever appears to be appropriate or makes sense. Here are a few photographs which give a taste of the natural wonders of this beautiful country, particularly the early morning mountain scenes and the abundance of flowing water and lakes. Rather than allow these photographs to accumulate moisture in the clouds, we bring them down to earth as a reminder of how fortunate we all are.
As an aside, it struck me that our time in the country felt similar to traveling in Europe. I often had to remind myself where we were and that it was not Europe.
It's hard to beat this sunrise scene at Mount Fitzroy.
The water flows at Iguazu Falls, staggering.
It's almost illusionary as the sights of the same objects seem to vary so much when one changes view positions. I was always taken in by this mountain scene, the top looks like a cat's head from the rear...an opinion.
Jen takes the gap and the mountain scene confronts her.
We took a shuttle to a nearby town and walked back along a trail through and over the mountains. Next time, we should take the shuttle back.
From the peak above, Jen makes her way down through the magnificent, colorful region.
This mountain had my interest during the whole period of the visit to El Chalten. (Cat's head.)
Iguazu Falls is a wonder of the world.
A quiet spot tucked away in the mountains providing serenity and reflections.
A function of the time of day...early.
The only desert region we came across over the period.
Then ice baths to enjoy after a strenuous hike.
One foot at a time, placed carefully and it's a 'piece of cake'...perhaps cake is incorrect in this context.
The team got together to provide us a quick 'shot' before they separated again.
A tough day on a rugged hike, Loma Tumbado.
The next two-color variations are totally dependent on the sun's position.
Early morning sun to redden the rocks.
On the outskirts of San Carlos de Bariloche, our base for the visit.
Let the water flow. To the left of the falls is Brazil, talking of a small world with massive countries.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
