So these are pictures from the last days of my trip, which had to unfortunately be cut short, but I will be back sometime to finish it!
As soon as I get back, I am throwing an ansada party. An ansada is a traditional Argentinian BBQ, where lay lots of meat (as shown below) on embers and wait 2-3 hours until about 10pm while drinking and talking. The first course is sausage, second corse steak, third course more sausage, and and last course chicken, with ample amounts of red wine.
For the last part of my trip, I hiked more around the glaciers. Here is a picture from a bus, and you can already see Mont Fitz Roy (behind clouds), a huge rock tower standing 2 miles tall.
This is the tiny city of El Chalten which is the starting point of the treks.
And my backpacking trip!
My tent set up near glacier water, which you can drink and still has ice in it!
I like this picture a lot because you can see a zigzag path on the right going up mountain, which takes a few hours to go up, but as soon as you reach the the top, you see the next picture.
I hiked around for a few days, and saw a few different glaciers. If you look closely, you can see a lot of waterfalls of the melting ice going into blue lagoons.
That was my last trek, and I am now heading home, although there is still a lot left to do in patagonia, which is why I will be back!
