Nahuel Huapi Park


We took a boat to a national park. Lots of birds to feed. 
We paid $20 extra to sit in the VIP section...top of the boat. It was worth every penny. Breakfast sandwich, coffee, sandwiches for lunch, dessert, wine, beer & soft drinks. We did feel as though we were in a zoo. There were only 5 of us in this section and the capacity was 45!

Oh the views! The white cap mountain is a volcano.

This was our English speaking guide's son, Augustine.  He fell asleep and I helped hold him for a bit. He is Claire's age.


Real Argentinians travel with their YERBA MATE case. It contains a gourd, mate leaves, straw and a thermos of hot water. It is a social drink and is shared by everyone in your group. We learned that you only say GRACIAS when you are on your last sip. Otherwise the cup or gourd continues around to all in your social group.

  1. I had to stand close by the people Lynn was taking pictures of their Yerba Mate so it wasn't obvious she was taking pictures of their cases, NOT me. Ha ha!
