Calafate

Today I went to the glacier PERITO MORENO.
It's really the most extraordinady glacier I've ever seen. The waters of the lake are continuously washing the basement so when you look at the glacier you see a white high wall, 65 m high, 5 km wide. Amazing
when going to Calafate a could see 4 grey foxes on the snow (2 and 2) then plenty of yandus (an argentin ostrich) and guanacos.
I've seen condors and avutardas.

Peninsula Valdes

Plenty of whales, I couln't believe there were so many whales in the port.
Amazing

LA SELVA

I made trip around la selva with a guarani guide.
there are 80 guaranies comunities living in the area, in their own villages. It seems incredible that they could still live in their own civilization next to the towns.

BOLIVIA

La Paz
La Paz looks like a roman theater, all the houses around in the mountains and the center in the bottom.
Lluisa and I when coming back frim Tiawanaco walked from El Alto de la Paz to thr bottom and the view was marvelous
We couldn't see Evo Morales in la Paz because he har alreadu left ahen we arrived at the governement house, so we went to COCHABAMBA

There we went to see the "desfile", and we could take nice pictures from him.

SUCRE and POTOSI are very nice and colonial cold towns

Then we went to UYUNI where we took a tour to Salar the Uyuni and Chily. The Salar the Uyuni is incredible nice, so white and large. The Pescado island is in the middle of it, it's volcanic and has plenty of "cardones".
After leaving the salar we visited the Lagoons: Colorada, Verde, Blanca, Hedionda they are very very nice and colorful.
We climbed up to the Licancabur volcano nearly 6000 m high, that was a very goog experiencem very tiring, we slept in a cabin next to the volcano and we start walking at 4 in the morning.
