Punta de Vacas has associations with the Mario Rodríguez Cobos* writer and spiritual leader, more commonly known as Silo. He was born in Mendoza in 1938 and spoke publicly for the first time at Punta de Vacas on 4 May, 1969. He died in Mendoza on 16 September 2010, a couple of weeks befopre we visited the City. Regrettably, at the time I for one knew nothing of the man himself or the fact that he had died so recently.
Silo was a leading light in the campaign to set up the area around Punta de Vacas as a Parques de Estudio y Reflexion.
There's a view of Puna de Vacas from above with lots of people present here.

I spent a week in gorgeous Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa.
Apple Vacation charter was with Iceland Air, which was a nice charter. I was legitimately in first class, but it wasn't "true" first class, but as close as you can get on a charter flight, in any case.
Punta Tombo is a nature reserve about 100km from
Trelew. It has the largest colony of Magellanic
Penguins on the continent, which can reach over a
million. The landscape enroute is uninteresting -
flat, dry and deserty for the most part.
Inside the reserve thousands of black and white
penguins, characterised with a v-neck stripe, are busy
rearing their chicks. The newborns are grey, fluffy
and slightly awkward-looking. Under almost every bush
there's a penguin nest. Some are really close to the
(tourist) trails but the penguins seems completely
unperturbed by us. Only 10% of the reserve is open to
visitors so penguins can live relatively undisturbed.
On the way back, the tour guide announces we're going
to Gaiman. I`m not too alarmed as I think I could have
missed something interesting yesterday. Unfortunately
this is not the case. I end up revisiting all the same
places and when we arrive at the same tea house I went
to yesterday I decide to go off and visit 'El
Desafio', the recycled park which I snubbed yesterday.
It's an odd but charming kind of place looked after by
an 82 year-old man. Every enclosure or exhibit has
been made out of rubbish i.e. plastic bottles, cans
and scrap metal etc. It's a bit run down but very
colourful. There are cliched messages pinned
everywhere but some of these you never tire of? One of
my favourites is ´Live your life however you want.
Just live it'.
