Beautiful!  Also far better than the photos I took of it.

Thanks—that is very kind, although I'm sure you're downplaying your photos. 😀

wow! Just wow. I am going to Banff next month. Was worried that using Q3 might not get great landscape. I do not need convinced. Stellar!!

Nice shot, @Stephen_C I’ll be in Argentina in November, and obviously, it’s on my list along with Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. I just saw this article: https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-argentina-statistics-2024-a-comprehensive-travel-guide-5706 It’s helpful, but firsthand experience is best. If you could share other must-visit places or any recommendations, that would be much appreciated. Cheers! 🍻

Briefly, so as not to derail the thread too much:

• Patagonia is glorious—based somewhere like El Chaltén (from where there are some wonderful hikes).
• El Calafate is probably best for trips to Perito Moreno—but otherwise not particularly special.
• The Lake District (based somewhere like Bariloche—very touristy but a good centre) is good (but weather unpredictable!). Try to get to Valdivian rain forest walk at Llao Llao.
• Iguazu is unforgettable if there's plenty of water going over the falls. Try to visit both the Brazilian and Argentine sides if possible.
• Palermo in Buenos Aires is wonderful for an early morning walk—and also has some good places to eat.

I hope those ideas, brief as they may be, are helpful. Argentina is a wonderful country and the people are very friendly.
