For anyone who likes spotting wild animals this is the place to be! One wouldn't think that considering that this is practically a desert - but we have seen so many creatures on land and in the sea...
Whale watching tops it all. These huge beings are incredibely docile and curious. They swam around, next to and under our little boat, did breaches to show off... it was certainly one of the most amazing experiences ever!
We did the tour several times (never enough
) and every time it was a totally different experience. Just loved it! We also spotted sea lions, elephant seals, penguins, orcas, armadillo, guanacas, rheas, maras, a desert owl and other birds, tarantula type of spider, snake... It's a desert - but full of animals! Here, in this small and totally relaxed village we really had the time of our lives!
And to prove again that the world is after all a very small place we have a funny little story. Some of you might remember Domenico?! He served us those tasty tuscan breakfasts at Villa Ducci during the wedding last July. Well, we were sitting on a terrace in this little village of 250 people in the middle of the desertic Patagonia and who do you think we saw walking down the main (and only) street!? So we spent some time with Domenico too... small, small world!
Lots of pics this time! Enjoy while we're abandoning the sunny Patagonia for Tierra del Fuego.

hI Jan Willem en Tajana,
Jullie leuke verhalen en prachtige fotos zojuist weer ontvangen!Wat een appart beest is de armadillo nog nooit zoiets gezien! Wat leuk dat jullie Domenico nog ontmoet hebben , heel toevallig, hij staat op de foto al net zo vrolijk en vriendelijk als in Toscana! Morgen gaan jullie naar Ushuaia dat zal het meest zuidelijke punt voor jullie zijn? Zegt papa! Hier sneeuwt het momenteel en in Nederland zijn er 9 dodelijke ongelukken gebeurd door de gladheid! Nog veel reisplezier goede vlucht en tot mails!
Liefs pama

Ciao Ty & JW, ci fa enorme piacere che vi trovate bene e che vi state divertendo. Certo che fa impressine trovare tanti animali di diverse speci tutte in uno stesso posto come fosse uno zoo. Ty sarai senz'altro stata contentissima di aver visto le tue preferite (balene). Alcuni animali però non ispirano troppa fiducia (tipo armadillo), e da altri state, per favore, a debita distanza (ragno gigante). Divertitevi al massimo e continuate spensierati il vostro viaggio e avrete così un bellissimo ricordo nei giorni a venire.
Duby & Bruno

pauk se zove tarantola. 500 vrsta i vrlo vrlo otrovni.
ps tati crko kompjuter. zabavite se i za nas
Le balene sono semplicemente fantastiche! E' veramente impressionante esserci cosi' vicini. Sono enormi ma molto gentili ed agili. Nuotano vicinissime all'imbarcazione perche' curiose, ma non la toccano mai... E quando si mettono a saltare e' semplicemnte uno spettacolo! E armadillo non e' per niente pericoloso - e' una lucertola con il guscio. Veramente ridicolo!
Un bacione,
Tajana e JW
