My plan from Puerto Natales to El Calafate was quite easy. First of all, I decided to change the original route (which went through the Torres del Paine) because it is a worse road (ripio in the park), it is longer, it is very hard to schedule camping correctly (the ...
I am staying in total 6 nights in Puerto Natales. The first two are before my Torres del Paine trek and the remaining 4 afterwards -- while I originally wanted to go earlier, the weather and the place itself make me stay.
As I probably mentioned in the previous posts, I ...
