• Bahia de los Témpanos-El Chaltén

    30.–31. dec. 2024, Argentina ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    Last day of our adventure in the National Park Los Glaciares is an easy one with a bit more distance (27.4 km and 663 meters elevation gain).
    We wake up and could enjoy the sunrise over the icebergs before leaving camp. The hike is pleasant, rolling and we move along the Viedma lake over several viewpoints. When looking back from time to time we can catch a glimpse of the icebergs (some are dark blue) and the impressive glacier coming into the lake.
    We pass the last tyrolienne of the journey and the French couple is just behind us (unfortunately, Marion send the pulley back with the help of the rope but forgets to attach the harness with it, which is a bummer as they also have only one harness for 2 to limit weight 😅. Fortunately, another person with a harness has arrived and can help them). Just after we have passed the tyrolienne it starts raining and it will not stop. The good side of it is that some plants start to smell incredibly nice (I would decribe it as the smell you would get in an eco friendly shop selling soaps and detergents, Andreas is reminded of a relaxing tea.
    We arrive in El Chaltén a little bit soaked and check in to the hotel for a well deserved shower!
