Road of the 7 seas, ..., 7 sins, ..., no! ... of the 7 lakes

One possibility to go to San Martin de los Andes is to take the road of the 7 lakes. Everythings looks like some European country wher you have forests, lakes, trouts... Well, everything is just 10 times bigger (not the trout tough)

Guess the today´s color...

On the way from El bolson to Villa La Angostura, the road is surrounded by yellow flowers. There are quite a lot of nice places to stop on the side of the big lakes to enjoy an empanadas picnic... If only the car would have been yellow too ... too much yellow can affect your view

Anybody can do that!

On the way to El bolson, the road is full of those lupine flowers (lupino in spanish, lupin in french). With such a landscape, I believe that it is difficult to do a bad picture.

Back to the Andes

After the break on the Atlantic side, a long way back to the Andes and the road 40. The road is not busy, landscape is changing, weather is good (the wind is pushing the clouds away from us) and wildlife is there. A lot of small lakes where Flamengos can be seen too. Today a piche (armadillo...

Speachless in Puerto piramides....

What was not possible to do yesterday (the harbour was closed due to strong winds) is possible today. Inside the valdes peninsula, there is a little place called Puerto Piramides where you can see a lot of animals depending of the season you come. The whales (ballena Franca austral (baleines a...

Life of the pinguins

Not on the ruta 40 anymore but on the east coast to see 2 highlights on the Valdes peninsula (try to find a map, the shape of it is quite specific). The weather has also changed (now I´m in the "real" Patagonia where wind make you feel like someone is playing with a huge ventilator turning it...

Leaving temporary the road 40

First, my apologies for the lack of news lately. It is quite difficult to find a place to upload pictures, so you may get all the missing posts when I will be back in Buenos Aires or Europe. Today a big part of the ruta 40 was just ripio (stones) without anybody during 450 (talking about...

Lakes and Steaks!

Nursing blisters and sore muscles we made our way to San Martin de los Andes in Argentina. The bus ride passed through some amazing scenery and past the mighty Volcan Lanin (3774m). The going was slow as we had to do all the usual stops at the border for passport and visa checks. However, we...

Flying objects

The road has always someting to offer. When the landscape is not at his best (2 big cities today, San Luis and Mendoza), the fauna is there to make you open your eyes like a kid (or father) with his new electric train. I don´t have picture of everything I saw, but I´m quite successfull with...
