Patagonia
Dramatic landscapes of ice and fire, with stark grasslands and deserts dominate the skirts of the icy fjords that lead to Los Glaciares in Argentina’s Patagonia. A gargantuan ice sheet covers the remarkable Moreno Glacier, wonderfully carved with winter hands and whispers striking glacial roars from its frosted body. The evening covers the dramatic icy scape with terror, but mornings illuminate the stark, blue colours into immaculate white backdrops that shine with diamond-like facets.
It is a region divided—one given to the icy chill of the Andes where gauchos thrive in their thick woollen coats, riding their horses while leading their cattle. Jovial ranches are hidden within the snowy depths, making a perfect stop-over for long drives. The stark mountains are accessed through a photogenic trip through the Seven Lakes, where strong winds blow between the glassy waterscapes and the snow-capped peaks. Bariloche, a swoony Alpine-like town, brims with the thoughts of hot chocolate and skiing, with stunning lake views lead to a string of quaint hangouts filled with campers. La Trochita, a steam-powered train, pierces through the railroads of Esquel and into the backwater towns of Bajo Caracoles. One’s greatest undertaking, one should note, is the El Chaltén, the most sought-after hiking destination in the world, with scenic hikes filled with forests and waterfalls, with sumptuous stops to many Patagonian restaurants to quell the hunger.
