The Bagualero Way

Photograph by Tomás Munita, National Geographic

In the wilds of Patagonia, cowboys called bagualeros pit themselves against the meanest livestock on the planet. Here, bagueleros pause in their search for cattle on Antonio Varas Peninsula, in Chilean Patagonia. Few choose the bagualero way. “It’s a beautiful life but a tough one,” says Sebastián García Iglesias (at far left).

1. We have friends who are leaving for a trip to Patagonia this week.

He's a photographer--and when I talked to his wife recently she said he's having
great difficulty deciding on what equipment to take. One of their flights has
heavy restrictions on weight for carry on baggage.
