With 30 kilos on our backs going up the mountain and back!!!

Puerto Natales

Bus trip from El Calafate to Puerto Natales.
The town of Puerto Natales is the base point for walking tours through the Park Torres del Paine. It is on a creek from the sea and also right by the mountains. That is something you have in such a narrow land as Chili…

Torres del Paine
And then we went 4 days walking through Torres del Paine. Ik have to report from Geert that only his backpack weighed 30 kilos and the backpack from me only 20 kilos (this is a rough estimate since we naturally have no scale with us).

Photos show:
Advanced scouting techniques were placed in order to show our route.

And this is the tent.

Totally on top with----a bit difficult due to the clouds---a view on Torres

And now still a few more views of our hike………………..
