Sitting back in our living room having just returned home, a swirl of memories surround us. We have easily identified our favourite moments of the trip but as a whole it was another resounding success. We continue to feel so lucky to add to our travel repertoire together and are proud to have completed our sixth continent together.
Travelling Patagonia was on our list of places to go for a while, here in no specific order are some highlights:
- Trekking over the John Gardner Pass in Torres Del Paine after we quickly decided not to take the catamaran to the W and complete the circuit. Once the Grey Glacier come into view and could be seen as far as the eye could see, it was a special moment that will be etched into our memories forever
- The French valley on the W side, including Britanico lookout being able to see the towers from the other side
- Trekking culture and meeting another group of great people to experience the trip with. It is an amazing bond and there is just something about achieving a physical feat with a group of strangers while sharing food and stories that always makes us want to get back out there again and again
- Panoramic lookout in El Chalten at the top of Pliegue Tombado, after hiking for a few hours and realizing there was still a much higher lookout, I stated "I was afraid of that" but the view took our breaths away. Ranked as one of the best day hikes we have ever done!
- Getting back on the bike to complete the circuito chico around Bariloche
- Refugio Frey complete with deep snow, make-shift ping-pong, mate culture, and our own perro to guide our out in the morning
- Wine touring on foot, in full Patagonian rain gear in the village of Maipu outside of Mendoza. Great wine and pulled off a self-guided day. Another great wine region for the books.
- Buenos Aires capped off with an incredible 10 course meal with wine pairings at Paraje Arevalo. Superb last night!
Love love love Patagonia and the people and culture of Argentina and Chile. Salud with Mate!
