Day 484 - Concepcion, Chile

We spent the better part of our two days in Concepcion trying to figure out how to get to the ranch of Butch Cassidy, the outlaw who I learned about in the hit movie with Paul Neumann and Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). It was complicated. First we had to find the little town in Argentina where the ranch house was located, then work out border issues crossing from Chile, then seeing if we could drive. We couldn’t. For reasons beyond us Argentina made driving a rental car from Chile across the border prohibitive. So we found a bus to get us to Bariloche , Argentina (8 hours) and then a car to drive 3 hours to the little town. Logistics were, shall we say, complex. Thus getting to Concepcion and closer to Patagonia was good but the nearby mall, which was huge, constituted all of our explorations.
