ArgentinaHost Club: Rotary Club of San Salvador de Jujuy, 4800
The majority of the month of November(9th- 27th) was spent traveling around Patagonia with fifty other rotary exchange students here in Argentina. It was a very fun trip and exposed to the great things that Argentina has to offer. We started the trip in Cordoba, then drove two days in bus to visit the Patagonian port city of Puerto Madryn, where we visited a seal colony in the Peninsula Valdez National Park and went on a whale watch. After spending three days in Puerto Madryn, we headed South to the town of Calafate, which was another two days on the bus. From Calafate we went on various excursions to experience the incredible nearby scenery, visiting the famous Petito Moreno Glacier( one of the few glaciers in the world that is still growing), and other National parks. After a couple days in Calafate we headed even further south towards the Tierra Del Fuego, crossing through Chile and over the Straight of Magellen, to reach Ushuaia(the Southern most city in the world). We spent 3 days in Ushuaia, then headed back north to Bariloche, stopping briefly to spend the night in the beautiful Patagonian town of Esquel. In Bariloche, Argentina's famous ski resort town, we visited the nearby lakes and other outdoor attractions. From Bariloche we headed 3 hours north to visit the last town on the tour, San Martin de Los Andes. This was my participation with rotary for the month of November.
