Wow! Patagonia is one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen. The wildlife is abundant, the snow-capped mountains are marvelous and the glaciers are stunning. We traveled down through the region on both the Argentina side and the Chile side and ended our tour on Tierra del Fuego. Our favorite animals were the penguins and guanacos. We were surprised to see pink flamingos and one day we saw a mountain lion. The whole experience was delightful.
