Torres del Payne:


It is really difficult to describe our experience here. Left our home to board a boat that took us to the other side of the forest to start our walk. Full of energy and some trepidation...we heard about this trek for a while. Armed with a backpack - courtesy of our young Australian friends- 1 tent, 2 sleeping bags, a little gas cooker and some clothes, we ventured into the walks. OMG! We did trekking for 4 days- 3 nights, so demanding, up and down and up and up...really tortoise territory. We really thought that we wouldn't make it. 6 to 7 hours walk every day, sleeping in a tent....it was like being young again :) On day 3 we were rewarded by a magnificent surprise: kayak on the glacier. We will never forget that. A very crispy and blue sky day, so cold and so beautiful. The icebergs floating around, and up there really close to us the glacier...
