Hospedaje Teresa Ruiz Puerto Natales

Puerto Natales represented the southern most point that we would travel to on the South American continent.<br> Prior to the construction of the Panama Canal, Puerto Natales had been a port of call as ships began the final push round Cape Horn. Today the town has an uninhabited feel, with one having the feeling that you have just stepped onto the set of Northern Exposure.<br> Following a days worth of administration and 3 visits to Puerto Natales' best and perhaps only ...

... to return to a bus full of people and an old man in his seat. The bus journey took longer than expected due to the length of time spent at the immigration offices, we arrived in Puerto Natales just before 2pm, after going back an hour. We checked in to the same hostel we stayed at before, gathered together all our dirty washing and went on the hunt for a launderette. After trying 3 different places we finally found a place left our washing and arranged ...

... making breakfast and lunch each morning was going to take longer than we thought. We shared breakfast with a couple (Caroline &amp; Alain) we met in Ushuaia who we then bumped into again<br>in the refugio last night! A nice start to the day, especially since they made breakfast :) We finally set off at 9.30am, first stop was the lookout at Glacier Grey then back down alongside Lago Grey to our starting point on the previous day &#8211; it was not much fun having to retrace ...

Im back and resting after a 6 day hike on the Torres del Paine curcuit. There were only 2 days where I needed to use my waterproof jacket which made it an enjoyable hike. I have heard horror stories of other people who have had bad experiences due to bad weather. The first day is hardly worth mentioning, a 5 hour walk to the first campsite through some boring terrain. After ...

... hiking part way towards the beautiful Valle Francais in the rain and cloud to decide that it was totally pointless if we couldn't see a thing. We later did this in perfect weather. Food - mainly pasta with tomato based sauce (surprisingly good), rice, muesli, too many salami and cheese sandwiches, 5 blocks of dark chocolate, breakfast bars, nuts etc Number of times I fell - three Time to run up to Paso John Gariner from ...

... passé au chaud dans le minibus et nous sommes rentrés rapidement. J'ai mieux compris les histoires de randonneurs obligés de ramper pour passer des cols, ou de se protéger derrière leurs sacs-à-dos! Le dernier jour je m'étais inscrit pour un tour en zodiac et un peu de kayak au pied de plusieurs glacier, cher mais ça avait l'air bien, mais malheureusement la capitainerie du port a interdit tous les bateaux de sortir parce que le temps était trop pourri... Alors je suis ...

... Les renseigements sont difficiles a obtenir sur la duree des reparation des infrastructures emportees par la pluie. Alors, je decide de rebrousser chemin et de faire le tour dans l autre sens. Une fois de l autre cote, j espere que les reparations seront effectuees. La seconde journee est bien plus humide et j arrive trempe au campement au pied des Torres qui donnent le nom au Parc. La, les nouvelles ne sont pas meilleures et la pluie dans la nuit et les ...

... t really figure out what he was trying to do to be honest - he must have climbed up the walls of the surrounding mountains to get a better view and got caught in falling debris or something. This would not have been a nice place if you got injured. So much wind and always cold and probably wet. Would not last long here in the open.) Only move about 4-5 hours the next couple of days but we get to walk up to and over and inside glaciers. Fantastic to be able ...

... a W and a 5 day hike, or you can do the full circuit which is a 10 day circular hike. Anyways, I set out with three other people, Frizo from the Netherlands, Teresa from England, and Mickael from France, or the United Nations as we joked, to do the W. The national park itself is amazing and beautiful and the first day we arrived at the far side of the W by an hour catamaran boat ride. It was windy wet and cold and therefore a bit nerve racking for me ...

... view from yesterday. <br><br>I wasn't totally sure if I'd done the right thing, but I did REALLY enjoy the extra 4 hours in bed ;) <br><br>When I just caught the end of breakfast, the Californian guys made me feel better by telling me that they'd watched the day break from their seats in the ...
