A zero Sunday in Puerto Natales

We're still undecided--do we go see the Torres del Paine or not?

Today we decide not to hike up the French Valley with the crowds, but just to have a leisurely day walking the 14km/9 miles to our cabin at Refugio Curenos.

Today was the start of some easy days--an 11km stroll down to Paine Grande was on the agenda, and the weather held. It was also the first section of the W circuit, which meant people people people, irritating and entertaining.

A fantastic and hard 13 mile day up and over Paso John Gardner to Refugio Grey

Today we lazily get up and get out and hike the eight miles through the cold snow pellets up to Camping Los Perros.

First day in Torres del Paine, a hot 19 mile walk from Torres Central to Refugio Dickson

Hello, Patagonia. We sleep in and bus-bus-shuttle to Torres del Paine. It's strongly different than the last time, so many more people, it's not any secret anymore.

Long travel days from San Diego to Punta Arenas to start a couple of weeks of travel around the end of the world.
