Cusco, Machu Picchu & The Inca Trail

PERU | Mon, 4 Jun 2007 | By jiff | Views [284]

The purpos of going all the way to the Argentinian coast and Puerto Madryn was to go whale watching.  But did we see any?  Were we happy or disappointed?  The suspense is killing you I'm sure. Puerto Madryn is an ok town on the coast.  Nothing special ... Read more >
