Arrived in this south west Argentian town about 2 weeks ago. Nothing overly special about the town except that it acts as a base camp to Patagonian wilderness.
Spent a night in Lago Roca, walked around a huge ranch and caught the first glimpes of Patagonia mountains and vastness.
Michele and I on a day trip to Los Glaciares National Park. Beauty in a tour bus image thivery kind of way.
Torres Del Paine National Park - Chile
Crossed into Chile to visit this famous national park.
Took on the 8 day, 100+ km backpacking trek around the W trail with my 40 liter day backpack, Michele´s 65 liter "backpack" (duffel bag with shoulder straps), rented tent with broken zippers, 8 days supply of food, 1.5 liters of wine, Michele´s extra pair of shoes which I discovered later in the trek, and unpredictable weather whiping through with the constant winds, changing in a moment from sun to rain and snow at higher elevations.
Landscapes
One of the most beautiful valleys I´ve seen. Unfortunately also one of the worst places to experience food poisioning while camping at night (luckly the last night) and hiking down the next day devoid of liquids and life.Next up crossing back to Argentia and heading a few 100 kms north to El Chalten for another multi-day backpacking trip around the Fitz Roy.
