Exploring Patagonia - Ruta 40 - Guanacos gallore

I have discovered that Guanacos roam basically all over the Ruta 40 from top to bottom, besides neighbouring Chile and Bolivia.

The Guanaco belongs to the same family as the Alpaca,llama and Vicuña, being the llama the more domesticated version used in the Americas as transport before the coming of the Europeans.

That said I have to warn you that the Guanaco is more reluctant to friendship and it will spit you if you come too close. So bring your tele lens and enjoy from afar.

Exploring Patagonia - Ruta 40 - Feeding the Foxes

There are´nt that many wild animals in Patagonia, mostly Guanacos and Jack rabbits.

During one of our sightseeing stops we encountered a pack of Fox puppies that were as hungry as they were suspicious.

They certainly ate our bred without much resistance.

while covering an event at "Sagrada Familia Church" in Colonia Navidad close to Mexico city, I spotted this curious cat peeping from a crack in the church walls.
