That’s what the sign says.
After a snappy 30 hours of travel from Cartegena to Bogota to Santiago to Puerta Mott to Punta Arenas, we headed along Ruta Fin del Mundo. The Road to the End of the World. What we were greeted with when we got there was something truly spectacular. 
This is Torres del Paines (say Pine-ee) National Park in southernmost Chilean Patagonia. We are staying at one of the very few lodges inside the park. Called “Explora”, its a really nice place in a really nice place.
We arrived about lunchtime yesterday, filled our bellies and immediately went on a brisk 2 mile hike. 
Everywhere you look is an amazing view and the lakes, which are all throughout the park are filled with bright aqua water due to the minerals from the glaciers. This morning we hiked to Grey Lake, which is the home of the Grey glacier and it’s offspring: the icebergs. 
It’s waaay cool to see icebergs. They are bright blue, just like the pictures. Its an other-wordly color that you have to see to believe!
After a very civilized lunch we saddled up, went to the stables and met our gaucho for a horseback ride through the pampas. It was a gentle ride on friendly horses. And that’s a good thing!
We have three more days at Explora so we’ll keep you filled in on the comings and goings at the bottom of South America! Hasta lavista, baby!

30 hours of travel? In LA with our daughter. Happy traveling
It just does not look real. The colors are too perfect. I bet you almost don’t want to blink thinking you might miss one special moment! Can’t wait for the upload. In Vermont, 21 degrees, snow on decks! Have fun!
You are the second person I know to tell me about Torres del Paines which means now I must go myself!! The water looks just like what we saw in Iceland at the Blue Lagoon. Muchos besos!!
Thanks for sharing this trip. What amazing pictures
This is near the top of my list of places to see before I am done. Glad you had a great trip to a wonderful place.
