Underway early heading for Torres del Paine Nat. Park.
It was a relatively short 250 km ride to the Argentine/Chile border post just prior the Nat Park.There was some strong wind gusts to cope with but by now that is the norm.
The border crossing was only slowed by the number of tour bus passengers being processed at the same time. Then we were free to travel towards the Park.
After a couple of wrong turns, which conveniently offered some excellent photo opportunities, it was on into the Park proper.
After paying the park fees and receiving advice on what to see, where to camp etc. we carried on.
The mountain peaks are impressive. The photos say more than I can.
Last Summer a fire burnt through the Park removing most of the hillside forest and vegetation cover. The spot we decided to camp at is one of the remaining islands left untouched. The bonus for us was the numerous animals and birds which have also retreated to these areas.
