My wife and I took a ten day AGS trip to Patagonia led by Martin Sheador and his wife Anna-Liisa and it was wonderful. If you ever wanted to see roseolate violets, we saw plenty. They are remarkable plus tons of other beauties. A companion book published by the AGS is "Patagonian Mountain Flower Holidays."
