The first photo is an image of Fitz Roy (the mountain the back). The 8 hour hike was definitely worth the sprained ankle, blood, sweat and tears (slight exaggeration). There are two beautiful milky blue glacier lakes in front of Fitz Roy and the panoramic view was incredible. Joe, he was on my tour, works for Patagonia. His t-shirt with the Patagonia logo is based on the silhouette of Fitz Roy. Notice the similarity?The second photo is of Torres del Paine. More often than not, Torres is not known to show itself behind the clouds. We were extremely lucky to have had full view of the towers. The temperature was also extremely HOT!
People were all getting sunburned. We were constantly reapplying sunscreen. The lake here wasn't as beautiful as the one at Fitz Roy but the towers were more impressive. We sat and admired them for almost an hour before heading back down. Getting down the rock scramble was tricky. Bring hiking poles. They would probably help.
