November 2 - Day 2 - El Chalten to Laguna Capri

A very pleasant inn that Ashok, Meera, Raul, Victoria and myself stayed in. It's run by a very pleasant young couple who were due to have their first baby at the end of November. We wish them very well! The name of their inn, Nothofaugs, is the name of a common type of tree in the region.


Quick stop at the Camino Abierto office to pick up our lunches before starting on the trail to our campsite at Laguna Capri


Scenic break early along the trail


Too bad the trails weren't mostly like this, dry and well trodden. Soon we would be jumping around in muddy patches.



Unlike my previous treks in Nepal and Peru, no porters or donkeys or Yaks on this trip...yes, that's my backpack I'm carrying all by myself. We took a break for lunch at this scenic spot.


A short detour took us to this scenic spot.
