so much to say, so little time

So here´s a quick overview of our last week-ish. We left Punta Arenas and spent two days in Puerto Natales getting food ready to go camping. Then we left for Torres del Paine. We drove for a long time, much of it on unnamed gravel roads with nothing on either side, and the landscape just kept getting more and more beautiful. We camped at a little place with a fantastic view of mountains all around. The hiking part was strenuous but so worth it! We hiked 8+ hours to see the Torres and it was incredible! I am glad that I did it and made it all the way! And I took pictures, don´t worry. We did another, much shorter hike the second day that involved crossing a land bridge of sand and gravel in gale force winds and saw a beautiful glacier, and had lunch in the middle of nowhere! It was great. A beautiful little spot off the trail.

So that was great - totally worth it. I recommend it to anyone and everyone with a sense of adventure and the desire to see something amazing, like no mountains I have ever seen before.

Now we are on our way back through Argentina to Osorno, then to Chiloe. Driving through Argentina is just long ... but we manage to make it fun. We sure do talk a lot and tell lots of stories. :)

Until next time!

Ciao,
Adrianne

  1. I hope you are taking plenty of photos! Even when you are tired, simply say "yes" to life and take a good sleep afterward.
