When progress is traveling with a knife between his teeth

In the name of progress have been committed many atrocities, with the disinherited and Nature as the main victims. Also in Patagonia.

There are two ways to read this post. The first is read by looking at photos (the best thing); the second reading the text and check if it says something not seen in photos. It is difficult to describe the paradise. Try to imagine.
