Hasta luego Patagonia ...

That almost five months (we will celebrate our 5 months mop February 14) that we are gone, 20 000 km traveled from Buenos Aires to Rio Rio to Iguazu, Iguazu to Peninsula Valdez, Ushuaia Valdez, Ushuaia Glacier Park ... What beautiful steps! And we enjoy growing our choice of transport mode that gives us some freedom, and allows us to sleep almost always where you want while being at home (or almost, it lacks a hot shower and a few dozen square meters) ...

We are currently near Bariloche in the Lake District and we turn a page of our trip: we leave the Patagonia after almost 2 months in this beautiful region that is divided between Argentina and Chile, with a twinge in the heart. Especially as it was in Patagonia that we celebrated our Christmas travelers with a small part of the family.
We walked from north to south and from east to west almost 5000 km ... And we can now say we know but we especially love well.

Patagonia remains for us means:

- Immensity : large, very (very) large spaces, endless horizons, roads and endless straight lines, impressive clouds (yes), beautiful skies, the estancias (farms Patagonian ties) as large as Belgium (or almost), sunsets, huge stage lights that will never bored ... Alexander National Road 3 along the Atlantic side has no secrets for us, arrived with some pride at the end of this road that ends in Tierra del Fuego, at 3000 km from Buenos Aires!

- contrast: between the Atlantic coast, the pampas, flat, monotonous and sometimes wild and the Andean Patagonia, sweet, sometimes green, glacial ... between snow-capped glaciers and lush forests, between Patagonian steppe grasslands and Chile, between "sadness" of the cities desolate, lost not always paved streets and some new towns dynamic limit gold rush (tourists) ... between gasoline cheaper than elsewhere Special pumps and foreign fare very discriminatory ...

- Wonderful bivouacs : if Brazil, for security reasons, we often went camping in, here we have excluded almost exclusively camping. And there are spoiled for choice! It often feels alone in the world deal with landscapes. That's where we thoroughly enjoyed our trailer ... And you get used to this feeling of isolation, the return to "civilization" will be hard ...

- Nature and animals by the thousands : if cities are rare and often distant from each other, we met many animals: penguins, sea lions, elephant seals, whales, cormorants, guanacos, flamingos, rheas, armadillos, foxes ... and meetings with them always surrounded by nature. Not forgetting the sheep (the regional specialty), cows ... lost in the steppe patogonne.

- 4 seasons: we have traveled this region during the austral summer, but during these few weeks, we've known all possible times, heat, rain, snow, cold ... but a constant: wind, wind always, when it stops it better to return a few days later ... And you end up getting used.

- "Ripio" : Many roads are not paved and in very bad condition ... holes, bumps, rocks, in short everything a camper ... and we do not like either ... We have never seen so many 4 x 4 here (except in Paris) ... Anthony now knows well, and we recognize the signals of a "Quaqua" everyone in their path!
But we will keep such a wonderful memory of our passage on the Carretera Austral, Route notoriously difficult, but oh ...
