Since Torres del Paine was burning, and I had already psyched myself up to be Super-Wilderness-Trekking-Camping-Travel-Chica, I decided to join up with some people from my hostel to do the Cabo Froward trek. Cabo Froward Cabo Froward is dramatically referred to as “The End of the World,” or at least one of them. It is the […]
When a Hostel Defines Your Travel Experience
This is not the nicest, newest, or fanciest hostel I have seen. After all, this is Patagonia. There is not much that is shiny and new. This is a hostel that made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was surrounded by friends I had known for years. In addition, they have thought of all […]
Foto of the Week from … Puerto Natales: Color
While everyone was still speculating about what would happen in Torres del Paine National Park, I took a walk by the water to clear my head. Puerto Natales is the capital of one of the provinces in the Magallanes region of Chile. I love port cities. Lots of photo opportunities with the old, colorful boats. […]
Tragedy in Torres del Paine: Stories from the Park
After doing the day hikes in El Chalten, I was ready to take it a step further and complete the full circuit in Torres del Paine. I was planning to carry in my food and tent and stay in the camp sites, attempting to finish in 7 days. I never got that chance. Much of […]

Foto of the Week from … El Chalten – A Pretty Farewell
On the last day of my Patagonian Trails Tour, I got up early to have breakfast with and say farewell to the great group of Aussies I got to know over the last several days. Yep, that’s right. I was surrounded by Aussies again, and I had a great time. David, who joined the tour […]
Photo Essay: Defeated by the Winds of Patagonia at Pliegue Tumbado
Our final day of trekking was a tough one. Not because of the terrain or the distance or even that it was all ascending. I got a taste of that infamous Patagonian wind. And it kicked my ass. The day started out much cooler and a bit windier than the first two days of trekking. […]
Eating Like a Queen in El Chalten
Maybe I am exaggerating a little. But since I’ve been on the road again, I am back to cooking most of my meals in hostel kitchens. These meals are usually quite simple because I am not the best cook nor do I want to buy a lot of ingredients that will get thrown out when […]
Photo Essay: Trekking Near El Chalten
It is hard to describe our first two days of long treks. Seeing the Perito Moreno Glacier was an overwhelming and exciting experience. The trekking in El Chalten has been completely different. Challenging? Yes, at times. I have enjoyed the physical challenge of it. During our first two long treks, we covered about 44 kilometers. […]
