Hi !

I know it has been said and written a billion times, but driving in deep Argentina is not the most entertaining part of traveling there. But when you reach the south of Patagonia, driving on the Ruta 40 is an all different story: every road seems to lead you to a beautiful snow-covered mountain range.

Here you are far from everything that makes up for civilization. It can be 300km between two service station, most of them in place that would barely qualify as a settlement. Almost nothing would reveal a human presence, maybe an estancia every 100km, and most of them just because a sign says so, for the farm itself are usually away from the road.

It actually made me wonder if there was really a point of wasting that much fossil energy to discover this land of a few souls, where climate condition would make it a hell for most of us. Sure you have stunning landscape, and then, why disturbing it for the selfish goal of seen the world.

It is not so much intended to make every one of you a concerned ecologist, just a realization that I have ventured somewhere where thing should have been left as they are.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !
