Patagonia Torres Del Paine

We only had one day there, so we decided to hop on a tour, just so that we saw the highlights.The other main highlight of Patagonia is a nature reserve called Torres Del Paine, in southern Chile. So we caught a six hour bus ride across the border to a sleepy town called Puetro Natales. I really liked this town, it was small and kinda arty. Compared to El Calefatte (both being tourist towns), Puerto Natales seemed to be a few years behind, the locals did their best to help out tourists but they were nice, rather than commercial about it.

That little thing in the middle is actually a five star hotel. There is nothing around it, expect for beautiful mountains and crystal clear water.


On the way to Torres Del Paine. It felt like we were hobbits on our way to Mount Doom, but on a really nice day.



A type of Lama. They just run around and try not to get smashed by pumas all day.

I made a spanish sentence.¨Me gustaria cervesa con heuvo, por fovor¨. It means ¨I would like a beer with eggs please¨. It was really sweet, didn't taste like eggs or beer, but more like fairy floss.
