The view from our window today

Again, we have a travel day, but a most interesting one! The scenery was evolving from the Patagonian step, (similar to our US Grand Staircase Escalante in Utah) semi-arid area around Argentina Lake and El Calafate to the Andes, glaciers, and forests of Torres del Paine National Park. The name, pronounced “Pie nay” , means Towers of Blue in the tongue of the native people, the mountains that look blue.

I was delighted to see all the animals

Mom and goslings

But our favorite by far! We were so fortunate to catch sight of 2 young pumas, sunning themselves, then mother called them to come along on a walk! We were absolutely thrilled!

They camouflage well in the landscape

We had a very full day of sightseeing in this beautiful national park, with views of the mountains And Waterfalls
