Old broken down bus, Natalia, missing engine, El Chaltén, Patagonia, Argentina.

An old broken down bus named Natalia is missing its engine in El Chaltén village, Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, South America. El Chaltén village was built in 1985 by Argentina to help secure the disputed border with Chile, and now tourism supports it, 220 km north of the larger town of El Calafate. The foot of South America is known as Patagonia, a name derived from coastal giants, Patagão or Patagoni, who were reported by Magellan's 1520s voyage circumnavigating the world and were actually Tehuelche native people who averaged 25 cm (or 10 inches) taller than the Spaniards.
