Last week (16th to 22th) I traveled to El Chaltén and El Calafate (Santa Cruz- Argentina). I was blessed with an unusual sighting: the phantom of Patagonia, the huemul! And I was able to both photograph and make a short video of her.

This is an endangered species, and a very hard to see one at that, so I was beyond blessed. I traveled to this place because of the amazing trails and nature in general, and hoped to see a huemul even though I was very aware they're extremely hard to see. To top that, this sighting crowned what was one of the most beautiful mountain trails I've ever done. I reported the sighting to Los Glaciares National Park, and I was told this individual is a young, sub-adult female who recently left her parents. So, I got a visit from Awka herself I guess!

Sorry for the quality of the photos! my phone isn't the best.

-((Apologies for the other people in the photo! those are other fellow hikers I met.... I'm a huge hiker, and while in the trails, you tend to join and lose other hikers on a constant basis. Those women were nice, but we split apart right after the sighting, since it's normal- and reccomended!- for each hiker to carry their own pace))

This tumblr is an art archive, however I -might- make and exception and share a selection of photos one of these days. It was an amazing travel and honestly I couldn't be happier, I enjoyed it to the absolute max!

Undoubtedly, the king of the Patagonian wild. This series of photos by Luis Alejandro Acharez (@luigi.fotografía.en.patagonia) was taken at the Herminita Peninsula, in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentine Patagonia. The surprised puma showed off his amazing strength and speed, shooting up from the shoreline to the top of this steep, rocky mountainside in less than 10 seconds, says Luis. Have a great Thursday! --- Sin duda, el rey de la Patagonia salvaje. Esta secuencia de fotos por Luis Alejandro Acharez (@luigi.fotografía.en.patagonia) fue tomada en la Península Herminita, en el Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Patagonia argentina. El sorprendido puma demostró su asombrosa fuerza y velocidad, saliendo disparado desde la orilla hasta la cima de esta escarpada ladera rocosa en menos de 10 segundos, cuenta Luis. ¡Buen jueves! . . #patagonia #puma #wildlife #felines #bigcats #losglaciaresnationalpark #patagonjournal #photosoftheday #picsoftheday #fotosdeldia #rightmoment https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6nAcsuFTu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Cheers to the weekend! This was from our hike we did on Glacier Moreno - you get a glass of whisky + glacier water on glacier ice at the end of the hike. Pretty cool! More info + photos are over on the blog. (Link is in my bio.) (at Glaciar Perito Moreno, Argentina)

What a welcome from El Chaltén last night! Whilst shooting this, had two condors lazily circling in the air to the right. Moments that take your breath away and leave you humbled and speechless. . . . #patagoniasunset #patagoniawinter #elchaltén #elchaltenargentina #santacruz #argentina #patagoniaargentina #elchaltenturismo #visitargentina #exploreargentina #trekkingcapital #losglaciaresnationalpark #parquenacionallosglaciares #mountain #snow #climbing #solotravel #cloudporn #naturesart #igers_argentina #igerselchalten #natgeotravel #wanderlustxl (at El Chaltén)

Off heard about this place called “Dirty Lake” from the guide we had. He thought it would be cool to check out.... “It wasn’t Dirty at all... in fact it was the cleanest lake I had seen! At least the view was nice.” The tallest peak is Mount Fitzroy at approx. 11,100 feet (3400 m) . . . . . #biffdabear #biff #toybear #fitzroy #elchelten #elchaltenfitzroy #patagonia #argentina #lagunasucia #dirtylake #losglaciaresnationalpark #parquenacionallosglaciares #andrewmoorphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yAvBtFqZH/?igshid=1upyyizegdoex
