My trip to Torres del Paine and The Chilean Patagonia.
Three years ago, I had the possibility to travel to the south of Chile, a place where I had never dreamt to go. I think that it has been the best experience of my life until now.
My friends scouts and me took a plane in Santiago and arrived to Coyhaique. Here we stayed some hours waiting for a trip on a car ferry to cross a transporter bridge and our travel finished in Punta Arenas. At the same time, the adventure started here. There were so many beautiful landscapes here, places to visit and extreme sports to do.
We stayed in a camp with our tents, we had all the necessary to live under the water and snow. Also, our sticks for trekking! And of course bars of chocolate, lots of them because we were going to take a route that takes more than six hours walking a day and here it is really windy.
Canoing, trekking, visiting marvelous marble caves on a boat, the Milodon´s cave, Todos los Santos river and of course to be in Las Torres del Paine. The feeling to be in contact with the nature, in a place where nobody thinks in throwing or leaving anything in the place where they stay, gives you the sensation of a natural sanctuary. But the most exciting experience was the opportunity to get inside a cave with drops of frozen thousand-year-old water where we had to get through a small hole that was the entrance. This place is not visited by anybody because scientists are still studying these drops.
If you have the chance to take this trip, do not think too much about the cost, just take it! And of course do not forget your camera to be proud to share the pictures of one of the most beautiful places in the world.
