Puerto Natales

Feliz Navidad from Amber and Sean in South America. This is a local Christmas tree sending Joy and Peace!

So we have made it even farther south and are in the process of planning our next two weeks. Just so you all know where we will be for the holidays and just in case we disappear in a storm on our backpacking trip. On Saturday Dec. 18th we depart for the W trek in Torres Del Paine National Park for a 5day hike that puts us back here in Puerto Natales, Chile on the 22nd (We both went to a meeting today with a ton of info and cannot wait-it sounds pretty epic and it will be the longest trek that we have done together, in one of the most beautiful places in the world). I am sure we will have some stroies after this trek, it sounds wild. Then on the 23rd we go to El Calafate, Argentina for a night. From Dec. 24th-27th we will be staying in El Chalten, inside Glaciers National Park for Christmas. This is at the north of the park and we can do a lot of hiking right from the town, more glaciers!!! From Dec. 27-28 we will be traveling north to the lake district of Argentina, Bariloche. We should be staying there for a couple of days. This is a tentative plan and we are trying to book everything now so that we make sure everything is open for the holidays. We are not sure that we will get service in El Calten for Christmas because it is in the middle of the National Park and it seems like a small town, there is not even an ATM or a big grocery store. But we will make sure to call the family when we get back form the trek. Happy 50th mom!!!!! I love you!!! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Winter Solstice! We will be thinking of you all and missing the family. Miss you guys! Feliz Navidad!
