Another incredible day. I find myself saying "WOW" a lot. We took a long van ride around Torre del Paine Park, stopping at lakes, rivers and mountain views. The weather here is very harsh: incredibly windy, raining and the next minute sunshine. How do plants, animal and humans can survive this place? Our guide loves telling stories, so have an entire arsenal to share when I get back. The lodge Terra Patagonia is beyond belief. So much wood, such clean lines and generally such good food. There have been a few misses, like last night's lamb. Guess I should stick to fish.
Continue to see herds of guanacos and rheas, multiple flying condors overhead, gray fox, flocks of flamingos and swans. The place is so vast, the mountains so steep. WOW
