Uplifting ...
We fly in over the patagonian ice fields to Punta Arenas then drive back north for 250km to our first destination, Puerto Natales. arriving at a restaurant at midnight... where we eat and consume a seafood platter and pisco sours. Surreal. After almost four hours sleep we take a gcatamaran trip to the largest glacier on earth apart from the polar regions. Like all glaciers, it's receding at an alarming rate. Magic moments in an icy blast of wind.
From here we also walk 15km to the French Valley between granite walls of the central massive that sits in front of our hotel window.
We're travelling closer to Argentina through the Serrano river and lakes by Zodiac and catamaran today; more on that later.
And so to the the river trip.... 100km... fun to begin with... Nightmare at the end. 100km in 9 hours including a visit to a glacier and lunch with approximately 10,000 other travellers. Mmmm.
Scary Ninja Boatman (and I mean scary)
