Watch for Guanacos

Keep your eyes peeled for Guanacos!   These signs can be seen every few miles while traveling along Route 20 in the Patagonia region of Argentina, alerting you to the prevalence of guanacos, or wanaku. This area of Argentina is the most southern region for these llama like creatures, which can live up to 13,000 feet above sea level. However, we often saw them roaming in herds on the vast, flat plains. On those long drives it can feel like it’s just you and the guanacos out there. They are funny looking creatures that can be very curious, which is why you need to take extra care when driving. I’ve also shared a few extra images that I thought you might enjoy and helped inspire this painting.
