Mmmmm...Crab stew over plantains! Worth the trip just for that! Thanks for sharing this experience.

It sounds like Isla Verde has come a long way since the days when Cecelia's Place and one other, on the water at the end of Calle Amapola, were the only places to eat outside the 2 big hotels (Americana & El San Juan). It was my home then and it may be time for a return visit.

I've been looking at this mountain repeatedly since returning. It may be the most unusually shaped mountain in the world. But hauntingly beautiful!

Such a magnificent and beautiful place. I think the vast remoteness adds to the appeal of Patagonia. One of my top bucket list places to visit some day. Thank you for the awesome pictures.

DrFumblefinger loves mountains and has seen many great ones during his travels. A favorite is the three "horned" section of the Paines Massif in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park.

DrFumblefinger visits the site of a fairly recent wildfire in Patagonian Chile. He found the skeletal remnants of the small trees to be intriguing.

A fairly common scene in Patagonia, horses and cowboys (gauchos) are part of the local culture.

Last week The Amazing Ms. D and I went for dinner at Made in Puerto Rico at the Isla Verde Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is the newest outlet of Chef Alexis Torres "down home" fonda. He has set up his restaurant as a complete jibaro experience....

Some snapshots and memories of a roadtrip across the empty Patagonian steppe.

For obvious reasons, Torres del Paine is South America's most popular national park.

So gloriously beautiful!!!

Yes, Torres del Paine is definitely one of the most stunning National Parks of South America... A great place for photographers!

Really, Torres Del Paine one of the most famous national parks in the world, could become one of the best experiences in Chile. The famous W Trek in Torres Del Paine is the perfect destination for the adventurous traveller. I have almost finished 1 month trip in Chile with my family by the help of chiletourpatagonia.com . Really this place is so beautiful and attractive that was beyond my expectation. It was a memorable and adventures tour for us. It is a one of the best place for photographer.

 I always had the impression that guanacos were not that common an animal in South America.  Yes, they were there, but like the Andean Condor you'd have to be lucky to see one.  As I learned this past month, that impression was totally wrong.
