Puerto
Chacabuco(2020)
|
It's
officially summer but a windy morning is quite chilly |
|
 |
 |
  |
A "tender" (large lifeboat) was required to reach the tiny port of Chacabuco "Uniting Patagonia to the World"  |
There
are 2 ships in the harbor
One
passenger on the other ship is my friend Phebe from Bellingham,
Washington |
|
 |
 |
We
live on opposite coasts of the USA |
What
are the chances of meeting up here? |
 |
 |
Traveling
to the surrounding countryside, we can see the Andes in the distance |

 |
Jagged
peaks frame small farms at the base |
|
 |
 |
Rock formations and "ghost trees" provide a
historical record of geologic and natural events |
|

 |
We
walked the trail of a National Park |
This
is the Aysen region of Patagonia |
 |
The
condor has a wingspan of 9 feet   |
