Eldertreks: Hidden Treasures of South America

20 March to 12 April 2018

The Atacama had always been on my list of places to see, and when I went looking for a tour, I had expected to find one that went north from Santiago or south from La Paz. When I found this tour, I wasn’t sure what northern Argentina had to offer.

A few minutes of Googling answered that question.

What I found was a region full of history, culture and wildlife. A region of mind-blowing scenery that gave us a glimpse into the Earth’s distant past.

A region that sees few foreign tourists and truly is a hidden treasure.

I wrote this tale as we travelled, so it is very detailed. You can start with Day One or navigate to individual pages via the Table of Contents.

My photos are currently being uploaded to my flickr page.

Enjoy.

Trafalgar Tours’ Patagonian Grand Adventure – The Tour of WOW!

In February, 2014, I took Trafalgar Tours’ Patagonian Grand Adventure. Since then, the tour has been divided into other tours with the Buenos Aires/Bariloche portion incorporated into South American Landscapes and the southern portion is now The Wonders of Patagonia.

This was a new tour for Trafalgar, and the moment I saw it pop up in the brochure for the first time, I knew I had to do it.

If you’re into the kind of scenic beauty where you just stand there and go “wow!” then this is the tour for you! Continue reading “Trafalgar Tours’ Patagonian Grand Adventure – The Tour of WOW!” →
