Today is a travel day. We are headed to Patagonia Camp in Torres Del Paine. We met another couple, Jim and Chris, at our hotel that are also headed to Patagonia Camp. They left at 8 while our car was scheduled for 9. We had a very nice driver and a very nice car. It took about 3 hours. We saw lots of guanacos and rhea on the way. I didn’t get a picture of the guanacos but here’s a picture of the rhea
We had to show our passports at the Argentinian border and then again at the Chilean border. We had heard horror stories that it took 4 hours at the Chilean border so we were glad it only took us about 45 minutes.
After we cleared the border who did we meet but Jim and Chris. We were all transferred to a Patagonia Camp van. None of us could figure out why they left an hour before us. We drove about another hour and a half to the camp. Much of road was rough and unpaved.
We had lunch and then were ushered to our yurt. The view from our yurt is fantastic. Here are pictures of our yurt.
That evening there was a briefing about the excursions for the next day. We had dinner after selecting our excursion.
