Argentina was high on the list of places I needed to visit. It feels sort of absurd to go to Tokyo 20 times and not go to Patagonia, but the opportunity had never presented itself. Finally at the end of last year it all came together. Coggins decided to open up the books and invited me to make the trip south.
Everything was organized through Fish Patagonia, an exceptional outfit based in San Martín de los Andes. Everyone involved with our trip from Fish Patagonia was really wonderful. All of the tangible things you really care about on a trip like that were executed perfectly. Everything else which might be considered secondary was also done on a very high level — making the entire experience about as good as I can imagine it could be. Let me go on the record and make a serious endorsement for Fish Patagonia. Their commitment, hard work and general attitude made this trip one of the truly great experiences of my life. I’m forever changed and that’s exactly the point of travel — to expand our field of view.
There was a lot to capture in Argentina and I didn’t want to flood the zone with stories here, but there are some things I really do need to share. I put together some photos for this one last dispatch from our trip to give you all a feel for what happened beyond social media.
By the way — Fish Patagonia is insanely good. There’s really no one else to consider. I’ve never felt more comfortable recommending something in my life.
Well this is delightful!
Other than the fact that they're beautiful to look at, I greatly appreciate what I imagine was an intentional decision not to show a single fish!
