¡Bienvenidos a Argentina!

On Saturday night and Sunday, we made the 18 hour trip from Santiago across the Andes to Bariloche, Argentina. It was a beautiful trip and could be much shorter without bus stops and 2 stops at the border (once before leaving Chile and once after entering Argentina - it took us 2-3 hours to go 30 km or so at the border, but at least the mountain views were gorgeous while we waited).

The wind in Patagonia can be something fierce. This is the best shot we could get of the Argentine flag when we crossed the border.

Just up the road a couple of kilometers from where we are living. A couple of hiking trails start here, and we are anxious to try them out.

  1. Beautiful, Beautiful. I am so glad you two are getting to experience that beautiful part of the world. The Andes can't be described in words, correct?

    Love
