Day 10 - Even more Las Torres
|
|
Meera
toughing it all the way back down
|
|
Getting
hungry at this point, maybe it was that beer that
Raul bought me at the hostel in the middle of the
valley

Raul
finds the elusive Patagonian Puma

Hosteria
Las Torres. A really nice place but a single room
costs around $150
As
we were driving out of the Hosteria sitting on the
road was a PUMA! It darted across and into the bushes.
Of course I was playing with my camera in the van
when everyone else shouted PUMA!! I did see a glimpse
of its ass in the bushes before it disappeared. Our
drive Jorge said in all his years of driving in the
park it was his first ever Puma sighting!
|
|
A
really, really tight fit. We had to cross this bridge
in the morning too
|
|
Sunset
on Paine
|
|
We
couldn't have paid for this view. What a day, clear
blue skies the entire day and no wind!
|
|
We
bumped into a young Canadian/Chilean man who works
in the park during our trek and he said this day was
the best day, weather-wise in the park in a month!

Look
at the suprise that our cook Diego had waiting for me
upon our return!! Tall boy beer cans, cheese, salami
and olive hors d'oeurves. Just like 2 years ago on the
Annapurna Circuit in Nepal after we crossed the Thorung
pass. I don't intentionall plan my vacations to coincide
with my birthday!
