15th in El chalten

El Chalten

Today John joined Lisa and John and walked the 22km up to Cerre Torres. There were beautiful views of the surrounding peaks. The walk was quite hot, with no wind and quite a bit of climbing involved. The end of the walk was at a glacier lake with views of Mt Fitzroy, at 3600 odd meters.

 

Liz went on a glacier walk. This involved a ½ hour bus trip and one hour  trip by ferry to the Viedma Glacier, then walking on the glacier, walks through ice caves, wearing of crampons etc. The trip ended with Baileys on ice – a liqueur for those not familiar with the experience.

 

Tonight we went to local eatery and had steaks, lamb ragout and fine Argentinean vino. The weather was beautifully fine and warm with lots of opportunity for great photos
