Hiking In El CHalten to see glimpses of the famed FITZ ROY
Turned to be an incredible experience. Eventhough we only had two good days of good weather, our stay in El CHalten proved to be worthwhile. To see Fitz Roy in it´s glory was something i had ben waiting for a long time. And here we were faced eye to eye...in all it´s stillness it stood tall and proud. Thousands of people come and go to see it for aday and it made me sad to know that people stand there to check off their wish list and walk away in a matter of seconds without realizing the inmensity of this place. It filled my lil soul with a feeling that is inexplicable, a sense of calmness, almost. Hmmm, yum!
WEll, for about 6 days we ran around the lil town of chalten. Like i said, we only had two good days of clear skies, when it turned quickly to cloudy skies but that did not refrain us from hiking admist such crap weather. All together we hiked maybe 3 to 4 days. About 8 hours each day. The hiking took us to glaciers, deep
snow, waterfalls, just crazy landscapes.
I love the outdoors!
Fitz Roy, i shall come back again.
