Glacier Perito Moreno, Argentina

Torres del Paine national park, Chile
A concentration of wildlife defines this parc. The rock formation of granite (harder and darker than the rest of the stones) give their particularly vertical shape to the towers of the Paine. We witnessed there the birth of a guanaco...right on time. It was the period for young ones...some austruch like birds called nandous we believe had just had their babies...

Argentina, Patagonia, Punta Tombo
We met Didier as planned, and he drove us around to see the Magellan Penguins. These small creatures are all around the Punto Tombo shore, and you can literally have a discussion with them - most often about the weather - I believe.

Peru, Titikaka Lake, Puno
The lake is known for being the highest navigable in the world, with 3815 meters.We took a boat trip to the very pretty floating islands, built with reeds by their inhabitants. Colorful and smiling people on the way, and an interesting microclimate bringing strong sun beams and thunder in the same day.
