Magallanes, Torres del Paine, and Patagonia

February 24, 2015

I will write up a full post once I get home since this is going up from airport in Santiago but in short, for my first time in Patagonia this was amazing experience. The park is beautiful and awe inspiring, the people I met on the way were all very interesting, the food and accommodation all get high praise and the guides we had were among the best I have experienced world wide.

Miladon Cave

Day 1 Ecocamp and Cuernos

French Valley

Largo Grey and Grey Glacier

Views of the park and back to camp

Ascension Valley and Torres

Sunrise, sunset, and some penguins since if they are around I have to go see them.

All in all the photos came out okay for another trip across the globe with just a phone for a camera. I have a couple flights to look through them more carefully and see what I want to post and think of the right way to describe this magnificent place. Thinking about coming back in January but would have to make it to Antartica, guess I need to plan a bit more. Also, if anyone knows of any great books about Patagonia I have been looking for my next read and already read Chatwin’s book. I enjoyed it but didn’t really get the meaning and really want to understand more about this part of the world.

Signing off for now ending my first and definitely not last trip almost as far south as a person can go.
