Dear all,
We are now back in Puerto Natales after 4 days trek in Patagonia and more precisely in the "Los Torres" national park. In autumn, this place is usually very rainy, windy and cold but luckily we had a great dry weather with no wind and we could enjoy some nice walks with Agnes' Mum without too much effort. The autumn colors, the birds such as the famous condors, the "Lama like" animals called "Guanaco", the ostriches, the famous "torres" (towers of rocks), the glaciers and the kayaking session near the Lago Grey glacier were absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately we have not seen any puma which are well present in the park but we saw people who saw one ;-) (waoooooouh!!). Agnes' Mum celebrated a secret birthday (with two digits) a few weeks ago and she made it all along the way with us. Congrats to her! In the next few days, we will leave the South of Patagonia to reach the North part of it, on an island on the Pacific coast called Chiloe. We were just informed about the recent earthquakes which happened in the North and which could lead to a bigger one and tsunamis....we will be careful and may rearrange our second part of our trip here in Chile to avoid the North and maybe go to Bolivia via a safer route. By the way, Chilean are very very nice and their cuisine (especially seafood) is truly amazing! For updates please check our usual sections, Chile, Foodies etc....
