Punta Tombo and penguins


Each year, at September, thousands penguins arrive at punta Tombo coasts to find a place for a nest and wait for females to come...




they swim for days, and with the last rest of strength they finally reach the beach...



but not all is easy.. =) some have to fight to get what they want....



there are others inhabitants there and they just get as much fun as we watching the noisy penguins..

the Patagonia trip is over now... and the blog will stop for the moment... thank you so much for following it and for the great reactions we got through mails!

no water...

cliff hangers..

El chalten and Fitz Roy


A drive from el Chalten , back to Puerto san Julian...
Some birds appeared beside the road..


they were quiet but suddenly...








a far noise maybe, and they flew away...


the mountains near gave an impressive background to them...
We continued driving, the following day we would go to try to find more fauna at Puerto Deseado!

Chalten


we went to El Chalten, a small village, paradise for trekking lovers and with a plus, the mythical mountain Fitz Roy,


clouds offered a so singular view of it!


we made the trekking to salto del Chorillo...a beautiful small cascade was there




we went on to the Lago del desierto, but we had to come back before reaching it!



before leaving, tired and happy, we found this very particular crocotrunk, who was there, tanning under the sun! =)

ice beauty


Driving along a road with beautiful lengas, blossoming in yellow bunches, we went to see the glacier Perito Moreno


The weather was stormy and we were wondering about the light to shoot!






some rays shine in mighty beauty and words are'nt enough











a hungry friend made us remind it was time to go back.. the following day we would sail among other glaciers...
