Articles about Patagonia, news in Argentina & Chile

This Mag is aimed at those who want to go beyond landscapes and photos

During my reconnaissance trips, places, characters, causes and legends often call out to me. I then wanted to know more and write articles to deepen these themes.

Patagonia, the last refuge

As I write this, about twenty years have passed since I chose to live here in Patagonia. I know now that everything is in balance, moreover, Jean Raspail considered Patagonia as “a second homeland, the refuge homeland of those who believe in transcendence, in the need to elevate their thoughts”… Everything is said. It’s the last land inhabited by humans, …

The Argentine Economy… unique in the world!

This is a side of this country that I had to discover on the job and it was not always easy. Living and working here for many years, I had to adjust a lot of things over time. From the beginning, I took it all as a bit of a game, which allowed me to gain perspective on the somewhat …

The Lord of the Patagonian Steppe

On the territory of the Puma

The puma is present from the North to the South of the American continent, but it’s in the extreme South of Chile that the largest specimens are found. The Lord of Patagonia Both admired and feared, sometimes hated, the Puma is none other than the Lord of these places. I have been hoping to cross his path for a long …

Water in all its states

The exceptional landscapes that can be observed in Patagonia are witnesses to this liquid transhumance. To immerse oneself in it is to merge with ourselves. In the gaseous state, the water vapors pushed by the winds, always present in Patagonia, form the clouds to transform into water in the liquid state; then, the rains and snows will give way to …

Two pyramids, two faces…

When I travel far from “my lands”, I am of course disoriented, but I must admit that very often, after having discovered or revisited certain places, I measure even more the value of these regions that I love in South America, where I organize my tours. Here is my latest feedback… Mexico and its tourism Many archaeological sites, for example …

My advice for visiting Iguazu Falls

The best is to visit Iguazu Falls with a guide to have all the necessary information about this exceptional place. Iguazu Falls are the most beautiful in the world, without a doubt.

My advice for traveling to Antarctica

What does Antarctica look like? Michel Berger spoke of the “white paradise”, I think it’s a very beautiful image. Huge icebergs, of dimensions difficult to imagine, glaciers as far as the eye can see, suspended or at sea level, but also mountains… A lot of relief in fact! Besides, many will perhaps imagine that Antarctica is a flat territory, it …

The discovery of Antarctica, the 6th continent

My discovery of Antarctica, the 6th continent

Antarctic penguin and its babies Antarctica is the windiest, coldest, driest, most barren and highest continent of all. It’s the very end, the southernmost land in the world.

When to go to Argentina or Chile?

Camelids of South America

The llama, alpaca, guanaco and vicuna belong to the camelid family, they live in different habitats and have their own way of life. It is quite difficult to distinguish them when you are not initiated. I therefore wrote this article with the aim of letting you know a little more about these typical South American animals, which were already present …

Ushuaia, should you go or not?

Ushuaia Bay I’ll try to give my point of view on a question that travelers ask me very often: is it really worth going to Ushuaia? When planning a trip to Argentina (as well as Chile), Ushuaia is of course a place that awakens our attention and our imagination. Nicolas Hulot (among others) has a lot to do with it …

Who are the Argentine Porteños?

I would like to point out first of all that if my words sometimes seem a little mocking, or even a little arrogant, I became “Argentinized” over time, and I love these people enormously, even if they often make me laugh! (You’ll see why later). I really like Argentina and the Argentines, I often say that the real wealth of …
