It was a cloudy November morning in Ushuaia when we boarded a catamaran to go see penguins and sea lions.
On the left, we had Argentina and on the right, Chile.
It felt like peace and quiet – it was such a memorable morning.
Prompted by the Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge, themed Morning

Thanks for visiting!

What a magical part of the world it is. That second to last shot is a beauty. It really captures the environment. I can’t imagine going out to see the penguins in a catamaran. We went in a quite big boat and I’m glad of it – there was a raging storm and it snowed in Ushuaia while we were gone!

We took the boat to the Harberton ranch and then back by bus, as initially I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy the boat ride in the windy weather. But I did, it was great! Could’ve happily done it all again. All the wildlife over there (and in Patagonia) really was amazing. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! We didn’t go to the Chilean side, that would make for a great next trip though!! We also went close to the borders of Brazil and Paraguay later on when we visited the Iguazu Falls up north! So cool to imagine the different cultures – Argentina is just a huge country. Thanks for commenting! 🙂

I wish I had tried to see penguins when I was in Argentina or Chile. I have seen them in South Africa, but there is such a rough and raw beauty in Patagonia to contrast with those adorable creatures!
