El Chalten, Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitzroy are wonderful. The weather could not be better with hot sun, blue skies and the most amazing long white clouds. We can see the snow topped mountains and huge granite spires from the town. The paths lead up through trees and meadows and then the mountains reappear. Lakes and glaciers everywhere. A final steep climb to below Cerro Fitzroy and then a frozen lake and two little figures climbing up the snow on the first stage of a five day summit attempt.
We have been blessed so far meeting lovely people, having good weather, seeing great sights, staying in good hostels and usually getting hot water for tea. Spanish is a challenge but fun. No tango dancing yet but one salsa night. Drinking mate the Argentian tea is good but the local wine is better malbec,camerone grapes are good and the Don David was the best so far. Friday night in El Chalten lets see what happens.
