I feel like I should share some deep thoughts about our trip but I’m not sure what they are. 🧐
This was primarily a nature trip. We saw many amazing, pristine, and vast landscapes in Antarctica and Patagonia. I hope they remain that way but I am not hopeful for any reason other than I see how disrespectful humans are to this planet! While not pristine, Iguazu was really, really cool. The wildlife on S Georgia was like watching a National Geographic program.
Experiencing the history and culture of Easter Island was spectacular. I have seen many pictures of moai in books but it’s nothing like seeing them in real life. I would recommend this goes on everyone’s bucket list.
In general my top three sights/experiences on this trip were
- The wildlife on S. Georgia
- Easter island
- Iguazu falls
Patagonia and Antarctica are close behind.
In summary, as with all of our trips and our exploration of this world . . . AMAZING. I feel extremely lucky that I have had this experience.
