Approaching Mount Fitzroy and
Parque Nacional Los GlaciaresThe good news were that the track to Fitzroy (highest mountain in Southern Patagonia) in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares wasn´t half as tough as Torres del Paine AND there wasn´t as much commercial shit (excuse my frensh - in Torres there were MINIMARKETS at some campgrounds! Come on, what´s that?? Wilderness???) AND it was only a 3 days track!! Which meant there was no need to carry a bag that weighs a tonne and a half! Great, I thought. When we got to El Chaltén, the access town, one of the park rangers inspired me to pack my stuff and leave for the track straight away (off the bus into the park) by saying that the weather changes all the time and since it rains most of the time we should get our sh...together and get going NOW. Okay....and so off I went. And so I was DAAAAMN lucky with that weather - 3 days of (more of less) sunshine and -most importantly - very little wind. (In Torres del Paine I learned that the wind in Patagonia doesn´t belong to the enjoyable features). The day I returned a storm broke lose like I´ve never seen before. That wind was incredible!!
