Summer got off to an exhilarating start as I ventured to Patagonia while visiting family and friends in Buenos Aires with Ary and Diego! Reminiscent of Eastern Sierras and the rivers of Humboldt/Siskiyou County, Patagonia’s diverse landscapes offered a captivating journey. Unlike my previous slow-travel experience to El Calafate, this trip was shorter yet brimming with warmth and excitement, thanks to my amazing travel companions. Nestled near Bariloche on the shores of Lago Gutierrez, our secluded stay amidst nature was nothing short of enchanting. Our highlight? A serene day at Baqueanos campground, relishing the pristine beauty of the lake and majestic mountain vistas.
The following day, we ventured to El Bolson, a quaint hippy town reminiscent of Arcata, Ca, to unwind by the river. With its tranquil shallow areas and gentle currents, the river proved perfect for Diego to splash around in. While brief, this getaway was a much-needed opportunity to reconnect with family amidst Patagonia’s awe-inspiring landscapes.
