(...the continued ramblings on parque nacional los glaciares...)
day the second. i spent the day with eunice (portiguese) and raphael (german), two lovely people i met the day before. we heading off in a different direction from glaciar del torre. our destination was the pure-turquase caldera lake set atop some mountain. the walk was beautiful through varying scenery, and luckily raphael loved his camera as much as i do mine, so i was in good company. it took about four hours (and whole lot of very steep climbing) to reach laguna de los tres, but it was definitly worth it. the view was breathtaking, and all the more so since it was completely unexpected. i can’t really describe it, so, uhm, just take a look at the photos.
the third day. i said my goodbyes to eunice who was heading back to al califate, and headed off on a trek to see some waterfalls and rivers. it was my last day of trekking, and thus, the last day i would be spending with my sneakers. ah, i wish i could say i it was a bittersweet parting, but the damn things were in such a state of
blister-inducing-jutting-plastic that the end couldn't come soon enough. luckily, it was a much shorter day since i had my own bus to catch that evening—all the bandages in the world wouldn’t have made those shoes any more bearable. note to anyone going to south america: bring hiking boots. they are big, bulky, heavy and not the nicest looking things in the world, but they are worth it. anyway, i had a lovely day or wandering aimlessly, and then it was back to el califate for one more night at the amazing hostel, america del sur. the next morning it was off to the capital.
