Chile and Argentina

In 2008 I went on a walking tour of Patagonia. We started in Chile in the Torres del Paine National Park, then crossed into Argentina for spectacular walks in Los Glacieres National Park. We flew to the southernmost city of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, where we cruised the Beagle Channel with its abundant colonies of birds and sea lions. The tour ended in Buenos Aires but I extended my trip to see Iguazu Falls - a force of nature not to be missed.
