Gorgeous hike

Endless Patagonia

Windy bridge

Pure magnificence

The white rocks marks the final path from the campground to Lago de los Tres. Steep climb!

Fitz Roy
Hey Jace and Chloe, looks like a killer trip you guys are having, I'm jealous. I saw Fitz Roy when I was down there, but from just over the boarder on Lago O'Higgins (lago San Martin in Argentina). Very awesome sight for sure. Did you guys try the Austral Calafate Cerveza? It's Chileno but flavored with the calafate berry, hopefully that wasn't the bad local brew you guys sampled. Hope Brasil is awesome. Cheers, que les vaya bien!

Yo Steve!! I never tried any beer from Austral, I just tried a sampler from Sholken. Most amatuer attempt at beer that I have ever seen sold. Oops, obviously should have tried the Austral!! We still haven't made it over to Chile, but soon, probably in a couple weeks. We're still workin out the details on where, but maybe we'll shoot you an email when we figure it out to get your feedback. Hope Australia is full of good surf, beach, and beautiful sheilas, cuidate, abrazos!!
