Patagonia´s glaciars

We have arrived in Southern Patagonia, in El Chalten, the entry point to Patagonia´s oldest National Park "Los Glaciares". The mountains are absolutely stunning and the vastness is quite awe-inspiring (for a European mind that is!). The glaciers seem endless and the air is so clean and crisp, the strong wind blows all the cobwebs out of your mind - it is wonderful!

Tomorrow we are off on a 5 day hike across the national park to explore the Fitz Roy and sourrounding peaks. Very exciting! I hope that our brand-new tent can resist the ridiculously strong winds! Very pleased now that I lugged my thermals across Brazil for all these weeks in the heat! .-))

I will report back!
