Glaciers and more in southern Argentina

All those pictures were taken in Santa Cruz, one of the provinces in Patagonia Argentina. We did this trip in January during our vacations. We traveled 7400 Km by car from Buenos Aires (go and back). Most pictures were taken in Los Glaciares National Park, a beautiful place that everyone should know.

Faaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Impresionante! I think you are a great photograph (like your brother) but the place helps you... Excellent, I hope to be there some day

"Beautiful Patagonia!"
You have very nice photos! That southern region of South America is truly SPECTACULAR. Saw Torres Del Paine in '97 but unfortunately miss Perito Moreno & Antartica. Would love to go back someday. Such a beautiful & quiet place.

Beautiful photos!
We were thinking about Argentina and Chile for our next adventure. Your photos just showed us that we shouldn't hesitate. If you are interested, check our site: http://www.worldisround.com/home/cbarreb/index.html

Ay Chihuahua! You were certainly blessed by the weather at Torres de Paine. 90% of the fotos that I have seen of this place were mostly cloud-covered. I shall go there one day!
