My weekend at El Morado, a national park here in Chile that is about 2 1/2 hours east. Just on the other side of the Andes was Argentina. I swear, I will share pictures of Argentina when I make it there. But with all this natural beauty, I don't need anyplace else.
Where you see the group and I walking is where we set up a tent to sleep in for the night. It was so cold! Next time I decide to camp in the Andes, I'm bringing a thicker sleeping bag. Maybe it was the tent that we had brought with us. It was Swiss.... It had to have also been the most complicated tent to put together...ever. I'm just happy that we were able to camp where we did because technically no one is allowed to camp within the park. Isn't that absurd? The man who we paid to enter the park said that camping has been prohibited for 2 years at El Morado. Oh, well. We did.
There was supposed to be this gorgeous lake at the end of the hike we went on, but the elements got in the way - the snow was too high and the wind was too strong. Half way through the hike, we had to follow footprints in the snow to guide us in the right direction. However, I don't even know if we ever were. How typical... lost in Chile. Story of my life.
