"Rest" Day.
This place is incredible. The Torres del Paine is a National Park and at the heart of miles and miles of open country are the "Torres" (Towers). This picture was taken from our campsite.
We hiked up to a bluff above the tents to see the Condor´s nest and then biked up gravel tracks to see Lago Grey (Grey Lake) where a galcier calves icebergs into the lake.
Monday - still in the park. Biked out East for an hour on rough dirt roads to climb up to see the Torres. Saw flamingos and guanicos (small llamas) on the way. 5 hours later I'm back in the valley. Didn´t make it all the way to the top. Left that to my compadres Seigfreid and Terry (both of whom have a few years on me) and "Team Colombia" Misho and Daniel. Terry and Seigfried saw a puma on the way up.
