We were renting a car in El Calafate and we went south on the famous road that crosses the whole of Argentina north to south. This road is a reference for adventurous travelers because it has 5,500 km of route and more than half are gravel tracks or “ripio” as they say. 500 km south of El Calafate is a mining town called Rio Turbio and bordering the Chilean city of Puerto Natales, are 500 km of lines that never end, wind and land of ocher colour without people, where the life is only put by the sheep and cows grazing on a land of ñandús and some wild guanacos, it is a monotonous landscape, an inhospitable and harsh land that is only broken by some “oasis “or some estancia (ranch) alone.
