The last morning of my stay at the Explora Patagonia in Torres del Paine National Park was one of the most spectacular I have ever experienced. After hiking for more than three days with little sunshine but lots of rain and constant wind such as I have nearly never before experienced, dawn broke with perfect stillness, the few grey clouds in evidence only lending the scene even more weight. My jaw dropped and I proceed to ramble very happily, shooting as if I was watching a lion kill in Africa. Simply staggeringly beautiful. But that is not to say I did not enjoy the previous three days as we went on multi-hour hikes both morning and afternoon in search of the elusive puma, and elusive he remained as not a sighting did I get. But I did thoroughly enjoy the variety of creatures to be found including guanacos and huemule, foxes and skunks, and a bountiful assortment of beautiful birds. All of this in addition to the stunning landscapes. | ||
