Feb. 7 – 10 – in Parque Nacional Los Glaciares









Wow! Incredible landscape. We were 3 nights and 4 days hiking and camping around this incredible area, seeing the famous Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. The first day and a half we were clearly on the trail most people traveled – sometimes coming across lines of hikers! But then we were able to get off a little, including a hike up to Laguna de los Tres (at the base of Fitz Roy), Glaciar Piedras Blancas (which rewarded us with a big chunk falling off), up to Refugio Piedra del Fraile (actually out of the park by Glaciar Electrico), and then to the campground at the base of Cerro Torre.
