El Chalten was magical. I got engaged here so it will always hold an incredibly warm place in my memory. Hiking to Laguna Torre on our second day was the moment when I was most reminded of why I decided to do this trip across South America. I always feel most at peace when I am able to connect with nature and meditate regularly. While living in NYC, I had a very difficult time connecting with that side of me, and I could feel the absence of it in my daily life. My experiences this past month have reminded me that spending time outdoors is something I need to continue to make a priority, even when I’m back in the states. While in El Chalten we did multiple day hikes into Parque Nacional Los Glaciers and trekked across Glacier Viedma. I also went outdoor rock climbing for my first time and loved it! Travis accidentally sat on a poisonous caterpillar that burned through his pants and scarred his left butt cheek. Two weeks later the scab is still there. At first he was in a lot of pain so I didn’t laugh, but my self-discipline was short lived. I hope you all enjoy our El Chalten photos!
Great photos, brings back memories of my trip! Im sorry but im laughing so hard at the caterpillar story. Thats just crazy!
Yea, it took a lot for me to hold in my laughter as long as I did. Happy you enjoyed it!
