In this second set of the 2006 Patagonia component, we visit the vicinity of El Calafate in the south-central area of Patagonia in Argentina with its mighty glaciers and towering mountains. Then we head all the way north to have a look at the scenic, wide-spread Iguazu Falls located just south of the tropic of Capricorn on the border of Argentina and Brazil. Finally we take in enchanting Uruguay with its capital Montevideo, the seaside resort Punta del Este and the charming old colonial town of Colonia del Sacramento on the Rio de la Plata.

These shots were taken mainly with a Konica Minolta A2 camera with a resolution of 8 MP, or with an even smaller Casio pocket camera.
