As with North America’s west, horses and horse-back riding are very much part of the culture in Patagonia. While visiting Torres del Paine National Park, I was surprised at the large stable of horses at our hotel (Hotel Las Torres), which one can rent for trail rides.
Horses are allowed to free range graze when off duty during the day, but at dusk the gauchos round them up and guide them towards their corrals.

A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!
