After leaving the Lake District, we descended into Patagonia to Esquel, El Calafate and across the border into Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park. It being one of the best times of the year to visit this normally-frigid place, the weather was mostly clear and the normally unbearable cold winds were at least bearable, so we stayed for a week in Patagonia. From hiking to see the beauty of Torres del Paine, to trekking deep into the center of the massive Perito Moreno glacier, we witnessed the wondrous beauty of Patagonia at its best! Here are just a few of the photos from our adventures!
Quick lunch during the hike with the beautiful backdrop of the towers, or “torres”
A large 100-passenger catamaran against the massive Perito Moreno glacier
The view of the Cuernos del Paine, or horns of the mountain, were well worth the trip there
Jennifer takes a stop to enjoy the view on the trek to reach the glacier
Guanacos, related to llamas and camels, can be found all over Patagonia
Majestic shot of the horns of the mountain
Lots of tight squeezes from caves and cracks on the glacier
In the middle of nowhere: near the center of the glacier
A long and tiring hike into the depths of the glacier
Kevin’s excited we made it to the center!

Hi – Wow. What a wonderful trip. You did know that walking across glaciers is dangerous, right?
Take care,

Wonderful pictures! And so many memories! You were lucky to have visit Torres del Paine before the fire.
Back home I’m a little bit jealous now to see you travel and to have all those exceptional experiences. Enjoy it!
