All of the seven lakes were perfectly blue. |
Argentina is a (VERY) large country -- it was a two hour flight to Bariloche from Buenos Aires. |
The first lake was amazing. My companion had to take a swim (in the very cold water). |
The surroundings were quite arid, but filled with interesting plants. |
The cushion plants were really interesting (to us botanists, at least). |
unusual cushion plants (adapted to arid/alpine conditions) |
The first waterfall of many! |
Part of an alternative route took us over gravel roads, just a taste of what was to come. |
