Que tal? Hi from Northern Patagonia. We are in Alumine arriving last night after 2 and 4 hour rides on dirt roads in a Toyoto HiLux, and 2 plane rides of 2 hours each. Almost 1600 miles yesterday.... long day. We are learning more about Argentina through our talks... like the country has a 21% sales tax, and the president got caught sending cocaine to Spain in diplomatic pouches. But they have made bold moves and protected major portions of the country from development. Been a long day... had to drive into town after dinner - 11:30pm now to find an internet connection. But I can get most of my mail. No pics today, though...
The Ibera Marsh grew on us after the time there. Incredible place, biodiversity was amazing. Land of the Tiger of the River - the golden dorado - which was protected by the natives there. We are looking forward to exploring the rest of Patagonia in the next week before we head to Tierra Del Fuego. We have a series of meeting in Bariloche and Esquel with scientists to talk about potential MVF-sponsored projects here.
More tomorrow - and pics if I can find a fast connection. best to all.
