The Lord of the Patagonian Steppe

The Patagonian steppe in front of the Torres del Paine massif The great south, there, at the very bottom of the American continent, a land that constitutes the Patagonian myth, I suggest you discover its panorama and its landscapes, as well as its people, its culture… in short, its singularity in today’s world, during a tailor-made stay in Argentina or …

In 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 …

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. There are on average 5,000 visitors per day, but, despite this strong influence, it’s one of the major sites in South America, not to be missed under any …

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. A continent in its own right (about one and a half times the size of Europe), a land that belongs to no one, no nation has sovereignty over these millions of square …

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, …

Ushuaia, should you go or not?

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 through his …

My advice for visiting Torres del Paine Park

As I write these lines, fifteen years have already passed since I discovered the Torres del Paine National Park for the first time. I won’t hide to you that my memories remind me of the sweet image of an unreal and wild park at the end of the world; with few tourists, but lots of guanacos and rheas at every …

When Patagonian Orcas Attack

Parmi tous les animaux marins qu’on peut observer ici, en pleine liberté et dans un environnement qui dépasse notre imaginaire, l’observation des orques est la cerise sur le gâteau ! Tout le long de l’année, les eaux de l’océan Atlantique, au large de cette péninsule, sont habitées par de nombreux orques. Les chances de les voir sont assez faibles car …
