We spent a few days relaxing in Buenos Aires, then flew northeast to Puerto Iguazú (near the border with Brazil and Paraguay) to visit Iguazú Falls. From there we went down south to Patagonia to spend the next two weeks. We went to El Calafate to visit Perito Moreno glacier before busing into Chile. We completed a five day trek of the W circuit in Torres Del Paine National Park, and we visited a penguin colony at Seno Otway. We then went to Bariloche ,relaxed, and did very, very little for about four days. From Patagonia, we headed to the Northwest Andean region of Argentina. We flew into Salta and rented a car for four days and drove up the Quebrada de Humahuaca and stayed in small villages. We then drove across the Puna and saw the salt flats. Finally, we drove along Route 51 from San Antonio de los Cobres to Salta, mirroring the Tren a Las Nubes (Train to the Clouds). After reaching Salta we flew back to Buenos Aires and relaxed for a couple days before heading back home to San Francisco. A wonderful four weeks in all...
