I'm here with Andrea, Eduardo's girlfriend and a film maker. She writes scripts for Mexican television.

A forest fire directly in our path spoiled our plans for today to visit Laguna Torres for views of Cerro Torres. So we had to head back to El Chalten and find something else to do this day.

Great view of Fitz Roy along the trail

On the way back to Chalten we had a close flyby within 20m by an Andean Condor! Its wingspan was huge. Unfortunately none of us had our cameras ready, you'll have to take our word for it.

After returning to El Chalten, we chartered a van to take us 30km north to Lago del Desierto. Here I'm standing by a glacial Laguna Huemel with its likewise named glacier in the background

It was a pleasant 40 min walk through forests alongside a glacial stream from our drop off point to the glaciar

Lago del Desierto, very close to Chile. In fact, this area is one of several disputed borders between Argentina and Chile.

Next stop, El Calafate
