Trekking

I have just spent 19 days trekking in the Torres del Paine national park. It was just the most fantastic place and there is no way to describe it in a way that gives it full justice so just check out the pictures.

View of the park from the plane
Glacier Grey is just out of sight on the right then the Valle Frances is the dark area on the right with Los Cuernos at the lake end on the left hand valley side. You can also see the Torres which are lighter brown just to the left of centre before the Valle del silencio which is the big dark area curling into the middle from the left!

View from just outside the park
This view is from the lake that you can see in the arial photo, with the Cuernos just in the clouds on the left and the Torres peeking out on the right of them.

The first view of Glacier grey
This was our first glimpse of the spectacular Glacier. I walked with the 2 American girls in this picture for the first week. Laura is on the right and Stephanie in the middle.

Our first camp
There first nights camping on the shores of Lago Grey

Great view at the top!
There was supposed to be a huge natural amphitheater here, anyone know where it went??

The first footprints in the snow
Climbing the Valle del silencio on all my own. Yes it was quiet.

Dead end!
How big is that smile on my face! I did scare myself a bit by wondering if the Pumas got up this far.

Laundry day at Refugio Chilleno
The staff here were really nice, stayed a few days waiting for good weather so I could see the famous Torres. Some one nicked one of my socks!

The completion of "the W"
