One of the best things about traveling by Land Rover through Patagonia (and surrounding regions) last month was the opportunity it allowed us to see wildlife. Unlike on a bus journey, we were able to stop and linger when we saw penguins swimming or guanacos running. In an effort to share what I saw (and especially for my nephew Cedar, who is crazy about “aminals”), here’s a collection of pictures we were able to snap of animals along the way. Each text link below clicks into its own picture box.
An armadillo we saw along Ruta 40 in Argentine Patagonia.
A macro close-up shot of a beetle in Chile (that was actually dead at the time of the photo).
A fox near our campsite in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.
An ostrich-like nandu along the Chilean-Argentine border.
A fat beaver lounging at a lake in Tierra del Fuego, not far from Ushuaia.
