 PATAGONIA


If you don't have Google Earth...............get it for this picture alone.

I'm in Santa Cruz - near the glacier (If you have Google Earth, you can see the glacier on the satellite picture).

The Glaciar Perito Moreno - This huge icefield located in the Los Glaciares National Park in the south west of Santa Cruz province, Argentina. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in Patagonia.

The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, and 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian. This Ice Field located in the Andes system is shared with Chile. It is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.


Aside from the wonderful scenery, the riding has been great!  Tough, but great, aside from multiple flats per day, we seem to be muddling through.

This is a wonderful Adventure, I hope you keep following along, the best is yet to come.
