About the map
The lake district of northern Patagonia straddles the Argentina-Chile border along the spine of the Andes. Thanks to abundant Pacific moisture, it is a land of snow-capped volcanoes, sparkling lakes, and primeval forests. The lushness abruptly gives way to wind-swept desert east of the mountains.
My 3D perspective view focuses on the popular tourist town of Bariloche, Argentina, and Lago Nahuel Huapi. The branching arms of the lake, which extend deep into the Andes, will guide your eyes to other destinations in the region.
If you enjoy looking for Easter eggs, the scene contains two boats and an airplane.
