Torres del Paine National Park, End of December 2009


Getting ready: This will be our lunch every day

DAY 1


It doesn't seem to but it was terribly windy from all sides and it rained






The nights we spent on free campsites without spare sleepingbags we suffered a lot. The solution in the end was hot water in our 0.5 l plastic bottles and filling them up again every three hours.

DAY 2


A dead horse on our way



The nuts really gave a lot of energy









Oncoming traffic




Here you get an impression of what the weather was like:
Sun, rain, snow at the same time and always the strong wind. Sometimes you really had to struggle not to fall.











DAY 3
Valley Frances
We started in the morning only with a little backpack with some food and water to hike up into the valley. This took us about five hours. Back at the campground we took down the tent and went on to the next campsite "campamiento los cuernos". They had a little hut there and we took a shower and spent the rest of the evening in the nice warm hut drinking some red wine.





















DAY 4
looked pretty similar





DAY 5
Torres del Paine
On day five we got up relatively early and went up to las torres. We really enjoyed climbing up but the way back was quite a challenge for our knees.










We made it ;)







DAY 6
Though it was still cold at night even with a second sleepingbag, we spent another night at the campground before we went back to civilisation


Hopefully the last instant soup for breakfast! They really become disgusting after a while!!!






This was the view from our front-door


The sleeping dragon
