Hola! We have just completed a fairly gruelling 5 day trek in Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile.
The scenery was incredible! Amazing granite peaks, snow capped mountains, surreal coloured lakes across a tremendously hardy but accessible landscape. The weather was forgiving considering it is notorious for high winds sweeping across the plains from the snow capped mountains and glaciers. We camped 4 nights in a 2 man rented tent in gale force winds and snow! All of which added to the experience.

We are now in El Calafate in Argentina and are off to see the largest glacier in the world outside Antartica tomorrow before heading off for another 4 days trek in the Mount Fitzroy region of Patagonia. Here is a link that will hopefully give you a taster of what we have seen this week and last week.

Such an awesome experience! Have met some great people along the way too - hello to the W crew if you ever get to read this! Ultima Esparanza rules!
