Good luck in you plans.



Got the passport already .... Coyhaique is one place on my list already,
too. Not much of Chile is technically in 'Patagonia' as I understand it
.... i.e. Patagonia is the steppes beween the Andes and the ATLANTIC ....
only a small section of the Andes jog west enough to have such an area in
Chile ( or the border jogs east? ) ... I mention this only because I found
it very interesting when I read it, I had used Andes and Patagonia
interchangably and ah, incorrectly ... Patagonia derives from the name of
the peoples that lived on those steppes
