March 20 - 27: El Chalten, Argentina

El Chalten is 4 hours on dirt roads from nowhere. Horses wander the 3 dusty streets. The grocery store sells 10 items. And it absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of Colorado (most mountain areas do) except there are these crazy glaciated peaks.

Trekked to Laguna Torre, de Los Tres, Lago Electrico, and Laguna Torre, which was the best since I was about the only one out there. I realized this may have been the first time I´ve ever been camping by myself, without other people or Caleb (I miss my baby). The area is much quieter and drier than Torres del Paine, but the wind was fierce. I think even my eyes got windburnt.
