patagonia

bariloche, argentina, san carlos de bariloche, adolf hitler

Did Hitler actually spend his final days here?

Bariloche is an idyllic little town and the gateway to Argentina’s Patagonia region. But there are rumours it hides a dark and evil secret.

Punta Tombo, Puerto Madryn, Patagonia, Argentina

Millions of happy feet

The penguins look so hot at Punta Tombo in Argentina’s Patagonia region. Where is the ice? There are millions of them and they’re right in front of you!

Parque El Desafio, Gaiman, Argentina

Trash or treasure?

For years the Parque El Desafio was a playground for the local children. But it also stood for much more – an example of how trash can be used for good.

Peninsula Valdes, Patagonia, Argentina

Seals of approval

This World Heritage Site in the north of Patagonia has an incredible collection of animals – all on view for visitors within the Peninsula Valdes.

Cave of Hands, Cueva de los Manos, Patagonia, Argentina

Cave of hands

In the middle of Argentina, far from anything, is this remarkable piece of evidence of humans who lived many thousands of years ago but left their mark… literally.

Mount Fitzroy, El Chalten hiking, Patagonia, Argentina

The jewel in Patagonia’s crown

The small Patagonian town of El Chalten offers a base for some of the best day hikes in the region – especially the climb to Mount Fitzroy!

argentinian rodeo, gauchos, horses, patagonia, el chalten

Rodeo in the mountains

At the foot of the great mountains of Patagonia, I come upon a traditional Argentinian rodeo. The gauchos keep me captivated for hours as I watch them ride.

Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia, Argentina

An ice age

Travel through Patagonia and the natural wonders are countless. But none is as impressive as the enormous Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate.
