Brian and Sylvia Are Back From Patagonia
In November, while most Americans were eating their Thanksgiving turkey, Brian and Sylvia ventured to the most remote place we have ever hiked…in fact, it’s one of the most extreme places you can reasonably go, period.
This would be Patagonia…extreme southern Chile and Argentina, travelling all the way to the Strait of Magellan to hike Torres del Paine‘s famed ‘W’ Trek, and the less well known but increasingly popular Los Glaciares National Park, more commonly known by the name of its most famed mountain — Fitz Roy.
These were two of our most sought after BucketList adventures.
We have returned from the land way down yonder having successfully seen and done what we went to do…and having crossed these two famed placed off our list. We have at least a thousand photographs, a good hour or two of GoPro footage, an infinite number of memories, a lot of lessons learned and more aches and pains than you can shake a hiking stick at.
Patagonia is awesome…it very much lived up to billing as one of the world’s premier hiking destinations, but also forced us well out of our comfort zones as hikers. This surpassed even the Tour Du Mont Blanc as the most ambitious and logistically complex thing we’ve ever attempted.
We answered a lot of questions both about this region and about our selves, encountered many challenges, and many surprises. Very few things went exactly as expected. Well, it seldom does in South America…especially THIS far south in the Americas.
Join us over the next few weeks as we reveal what we found in our voyage to this strange and surprising place…the place they call Finis Terrae: The End of the World.
Join us as BecauzeItzThere explores Patagonia.
