Lago Condor

About 40 min into the trip, we came to the beautiful Lago Condor along the roadside. Our bus driver was a very nice and friendly guy. He doubled up as a guide and stopped the bus for a while for the people to get off and take pictures.
Further along the road, in a forest location, we came to the point where Argentina and Chile had a standoff before the creation of the national park in this region. This part of Patagonia was so remote that it had not been allowed to any country. Chile troops had come to occupy it but were beaten back by the Argentinian side. The memorial commemorates those who lost their lives. The situation was eventually resolved when the whole area was declared a National Park.
The next stop was at the Salto del Anillo waterfall.Read more
