This trip has something for everyone. If you’re into wildlife, great – lots of mammals, sea creatures, birds – you name it. Like food and wine? Check and check (The tomatoes here are so incredible. After several months of crappy out-of-season grocery-store tomatoes in Boston, it’s like heaven to come here in their summer. And we haven’t had a bad bottle of wine – and there have been a lot of them already because there are 10 people on the trip, most of whom can drink me under the table). Do you like hiking? Patagonia is famous for it! And last but not least, if you like beautiful scenery, Patagonia has that in spades. Both landscape and other. Ladies, check out this picture of our local guide on Peninsula Valdes. His name is Marco. Lots of the people on our trip think he looks like Antonio Banderas, but I think he’s even dreamier – like a Latin George Clooney. I get to take in that scenery for 3 days, but unfortunately, Argentina has a system where you can only be a licensed guide for a specific local area, so Marco can’t come with us to our next destination. This is different for tour leaders, who are with us for the whole trip (no disrespect to our fabulous tour leaders Irene and Melissa but you’re just not the right gender for me). 🙂
