trekking towards the glacier torre.
|
|
|
they try to keep the trails as natural as possible by not building intrusive things like bridges, so we had to cross the river on a zip line. you get clipped in and then have to pull yourself over the glacial river on the cable.

lauren on the zip line.
|
|
|
sometimes it felt like we were walking towards a mythical world.
|
|
|
the climb was quite treacherous in some places. lauren followed closely by the guide.
|
|
|
nice place for a walk....
|
|
|
it's a tough climate there but some beautiful things thrive regardless.
|
|
|
we finally got to the top and then descended down to the glacier to trek upon it.
|
|
|
we each put on some crampons so we wouldn't slip on the ice and then began the walk over the glacier torre.
|
|
|
yeah, it was pretty nice.
|
|
|
they were many holes, waterfalls, and pools in the glacier itself. if you wanted a close-up shot you had to hand your camera over to a guide.
|
|
|
my favorite thing of the whole day was drinking out of these glacial pools. you can drink the water from the lakes, streams, and glaciers throughout patagonia; one of the last places in the world that you can still do that.
|
|
|
the glacier was tucked nicely between some spectacular mountains.
