Un guanaco ...

Something amazing happened today. I was trying to get some close pictures of nandus and then, on the other side of the road, a guanaco was giving birth. In 20 minutes the young was on his feet getting some needed milk. She changed several times the position on the left and on the...

Guanaco´s life

In torres del Paine, the first things you will see are guanacos. They are just everywhere. You can see the leader of the group taking care of its group by staying on one High Point and sometimes running (very fast) after the young ones to teach them what "territory" and "ownership" means. I...

Grey biiiiiig chickens

Other inhabitants of Patagonia are Nandus. They look like ostrich (autruche). They are quite difficult to see as they have the same color as the ground or bushes. If they sit, from far away, you can think it is a bush. They are more afraid of humans than guanacos for example. They run fast...

closer and closer

Just to finish about Torres del Paine, some pictures about chimangos again. There is so much easy food around with those young ones of any kind everywhere, that you can always find a group of chimango eating somewhere. The most difficult thing to approach them is to be against the wind with the...

What a landscape!

Still in Patagonia, but on the chilean side, the National Park Torres del Paine is a magical place that simply has everything in terms of landscape and wildlife. The mountains are not part of the Andes and the 3 towers in the middle gave the name to this park (torres=towers). There are so many...

Blown away by Torres del Paine

It was an early start to the day to catch our 7am bus to the park. We were greeted with absolutely amazing weather again and we thought 'have we really arrived in Patagonia?' Our bus trip was great as before we even started hiking we got clear views of the Paine Massif and saw an ostrich with...

The Lucky Passengers!

Our four day trip on the Navimag started with clear blue skies in Puerto Montt, Southern Patagonia, and the weather continued to be very kind to us for the entire trip. So much so that the on board guide kept telling us that we were the ´lucky passengers´. They had not had a clear day for the...

Torres Del Pines

After Jamie´s arrival on Saturday night, we left BA on Monday morning to do some trekking and outdoor activities in Patagonia. A good way of keeping him off the booze and taking some pretty pictures if nothing else I reasoned. Monday morning arrives and Jamie has somewhat overlooked his...
