Las grutas

So emotional to finally be in Patagonia land. It is quite surreal, talking about this trip since years and years ago and we are finally here! The enormity of all! Land forever, as long as you can see there is land. Arid, rocky, some bushes here and there...We got into this little village, well, I said little but over the season there are more than 150,000 people! I can understand the charm. The tides that goes so far away, 200 m leaving behind cracks and holes on the ground that make this funny shapes....the water is so clean and fresh and after a day of 36 degrees very welcoming!

Next stop, Chubut and Peninsula Valdez, people come all over the world just to be in this place. It is quite unique, the sea lions, the whales, penguins, seals...they are all here. After kilometres and kilometres of driving we spend a whole day in Puerto Piramides. And then two nights in paradise: Punta Pardelas; rugged, private, desolated... with the most impressive sunset ever! It was a NGM (national geographic moment: :)

We continue our trip with some reticence. Next stop Puerto Madryn. I am not sure what I expected of this place, but it has been in our mind for so long that when we got there....it wasn't that much. A small town, a bit touristy, and a beach that we didn't get to enjoy as the winds were absolutely furious!
