I spent a couple of nights in Puerto Natales, mainly just getting things ready for the trek. Its a pretty sleepy place and the most interesting thing about it is the number of stray dogs on the street. They´re just about everywhere and they´ll follow you around hoping for some scraps but they´re not aggresive at all, nice doggies. They seem to g...

We where told that the park was in off season and that there would be driving rain and wind. We where told that the transport would be too infrequent and that to view the park and surrounding attractions we would need more time. Well we struck it lucky with none of this being true. From Puerto Mont we organised a window seat on the plane and had...

Heading for Torres del Paine We eventually reached Puerto Natales and went to stay at Erratic Rock. It seemed cosy but our bedroom had cracks in the windows, a hole behind the heater and was freezing. We'd been spoilt by the underfloor heating in Argentinian Patagonia. We eventually figured our how the heating worked and our room was toasty. Aft...

After eight days in Torres del Paine National Park, we are thankful for showers, and beds, and heat, and pizza, and beer, and fresh produce, and internet. We left with 12 pounds of trail mix (along with several more pounds of food) and believe it or not, Kyle never wants to look at dried fruit again. Torres del Paine is a massive park in Chilean...

Bec 17/3 - St. Paddys Day: We arrived to Torres del Paine in just over 2 hours from El Calafate. We camped at a sight by Lake Pehoe and the girls in particular were please to see a fully functioning toilet block including nice hot showers! We had a free afternoon to wonder around the park, Mark and I got as far as the 5 star Explorer Hotel 1km u...

Wow.Wow.Wow. The last 5 days have been absolutely mind blowing. We arrived in Puerto Natales and unfortunately Jess was getting a cold. Still, we had to press on since we were on a bit of time constraint because of bus/flight schedules. Friday we spent the day getting prepped for the big trip to Torres del Paine National Park. Rented our tent, c...

There was no rush to get up, so we rolled out of the tent at 9:28am, just in time to grab some breakfast which was being cleared away... We bumped into the Germans as they were leaving, and they seemed astonished that we weren´t a deeper shade of green or puking in the bushes after the wine last night. They obviously forgot that most English are...

Le 22 Janvier fut un jour de voyage. Avion de Puerto Montt à Punta Arenas y route en voiture louée de Punta Arenas à Puerto Natales. Nous trouvons une patagonie estivale plutôt très ensoleillée ! A telle point que nous nous y attendions pas (peu habituel pour le sud du Chili d'avoir tant de soleil). Les quelques heures de routes passent par de l...

well, we are back from the Torres del Paine, we spent 8 days in the park. We did an extended version of the "w" which was good because I felt pretty darn awful for the first half of the trip (when we left I was sick with the shakes and a stuffy head and runny nose), and I am still a bit sick but getting better - i hope! The weather in TdP is ins...
