Torres Del Paine National Park, Chile
Hopefully, leaving our misadventures behind us in Punta Arena, we got in our rental car on the 26th of December and made the three hour drive to Puerto Natales. Puerto Natales is a port city in Chilean Patagonia. The drive was uneventful. We saw many many sheep, some gaunico's and got pretty close to the Argentinian border. It was very very windy (something we were going to get very familiar with) so we didn't stop to take any pictures.. But the moment we got close enough to see the city.. it was pure jaw dropping magic and pictures do not do justice to the beauty. Their city's mascot is a Mylodon, a prehistoric giant ground sloth that lived in Patagonia over 10,000 years ago. We stayed in an Airbnb we could not find.. the GPS coordinates were way off and the host did not speak English and we felt our bad luck following us around.. but once we finally found it.. it was the prettiest place. The view.. horses grazing in the distance.. definition of idyll...
