Our trip there was like holidays in our world tour. It was good to be in the mountains and see the nature during 4 days. No noises, no pollution, no communication, only the nature and us. We were shocked, when we got back, to hear what happened in Chile during our trip there.
We left El Calafate the Wednesday 24th of February to reach Puerto Natales in Chile, the entry point of Torres del Paine, the most beautiful natural park of South America says the Lonely Planet.
First steps into the park.
After we found our hostel, we made some shopping to survive during our 4 days of trekking!
We rent all the materials we needed to camp during 4 days in the Hostel we stayed in. Very good hostel named Patagonia Adventure.
Freedom!!!!!!
The day after we took a bus to Torres del Paine. We arrived at 10h30 in the park and instead of taking another bus to reach the first “refugio” we walked about 7,5 kms. It was a good start. After lunch, we walked again about 8kms to reach the free camping in which we will sleep.
Where are we going to sleep?
Here!
After a good night we walked about 25 kms (with our bagpacks) to reach another free camping and the landscapes were awesome. What a good thing to be in a quiet place like this one.
The second last day we “only” walked 15 kms as we were a bit tired!
The "Chef" is cooking.
Nothing to say.
The last day we left at 5 AM in order to walk the last 25kms before reaching the place where we could take a bus to go back to Puerto Natales.
Sounds like Ireland sometimes. We miss you Ireland!!!!
No comment :)
Our trip there was very good and resourcing after what happened in Buenos Aires. We were exhausted after walking almost 90kms in 3 days and a half but it was worth it.
The shower we took when we got back to the hostel, after 4 days without taking any, was the best shower EVER!
To get water just get a bottle and a river.
The sunrise
HIVER !!
