Patagonian Badlands



On old Ruta 40 between Perito Moreno and Bajo Caracoles. The "new" Ruta 40 has been rerouted in this area losing a few ups and downs and some curves.

Auf der alten Ruta 40 zwischen Perito Moreno und Bajo Caracoles. Die "neue" Ruta 40 hat eine andere Streckenführung ohne viel Auf und Ab und Kurven.

Gudrun replied to Jaap van 't Veen:

Thank you, Jaap! It looks like a place where you could find petrified araucarias or a few dinosaur bones;-)

Gudrun replied to Malik Raoulda:

Merci beaucoup, Malik! It's a fairly typical view of the vast Patagonian steppe.

Eine Mondlandschaft, wie ich sie gern mag ! Leer, weit, unwirtlich ! Da krieg ich Fernweh ! Moin, Gudrun !

Gudrun replied to Ulrich John:

Herzlichen Dank, Ulrich! Das ist eine faszinierende Landschaft, auf abgelegenen Estancias hatte man dort den EIndruck, die Zeit sei stehengeblieben. Wenn wir schon icht weit weg können, dann eben virtuell....

Gudrun replied to uwschu:

Besten Dank, Uwe! Im Regenschatten der Anden ist nur Steppe (im Westen auf der chilenischen Seite dafür Regenwald)- und den ganzen Sommer über bläst ein heftiger Wind.

Gudrun replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

Thank you so much, Rosa! It's vast and very sparsely inhabited- and utterly fascinating!

Reading your reply to Jutta, it must have been reassuring to have reserve fuel. It doesn't look as if there would be any drive through MacDonalds for hundreds of miles. ;-)))

Gudrun replied to Amelia:

Thanks very much, Amelia! Indeed, filling stations are far apart, the nearest is in Bajo Caracoles, a crossroads of 33 inhabitants with a "hotel"/ café/shop and a petrol pump. When we visited it had a decidedly "old" Patagonia feel to it, the shop sold a vast selection of dangerous looking Gaucho knives;-)

I think Ulrich nailed it when he called it a moonscape!

It's seems like a very unforgiving landscape but in the sunshine, it has a stark beauty to it. I like the earthy colours and the blue sky. An interesting set of images Gudrun.
