Chile Travel Photo Collection

This was our first trip with Adventure Life. I think it won’t be the last! We wanted to go to Cape Horn, to visit the famous Torres del Paine park of Patagonia, and the Argentine glaciers. Adventure Life let us do it all in 2 weeks.

Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego lies just north of Ushuaia and is Argentina\'s first coastal national park. We spent a day exploring the trails and relaxing. We wandered along the coastal path, taking in all the wildlife. It was about a 3 1/2 hour hike that took us through the forests. We finished the walk at Lake Roca in time for lunch. What a wonderful day! I\'ve never seen so many different kinds of trees!

We trekked through the diverse landscape on our way to the towers - Las Torres del Paine. Amid snow and mist, it was a wonderful feeling seeing those grand statues towering above us - made by nature\'s hand. There\'s no room for the timid here! What an amazing trek!

Ecocamp in Torres del Paine National Park In this world of vanishing wilderness, we invite you to explore our remote Patagonia with the least ecological impact possible; to trek in virgin beech forests; to admire colossal calving glaciers; to think and wonder about humankind while standing at the foot of the towering granite peaks of the Torres del Paine; to sit in total silence under the Southern Cross; and to share a glass of wine with new friends

Spending a week onboard the expedition vessel Atmosphere was an incredible experience, the ultimate catch-and-release that I will never forget. The service was first-class, prompt and one step ahead of your every move. We drank champagne in glass flutes while we soaked in the natural hot springs. You wouldn\'t have realized you were at waters\' edge during daily lunches. Guides prepared an extravagant meal while we sipped a variety of local wines. My favorite highlight was the access to the Chilean wilderness. Fishing remote lakes, rivers and streams only accessible by our onboard helicopters. Giant prehistoric looking Brown Trout and brightly colored Rainbow Trout lurk in the untouched waters and provide tight lines for all fishermen. The up close encounter with the far-flung mountains, volcanoes and glaciers are only witnessed by the lucky few onboard the Atmosphere or on the Hollywood big screens.

I arrived in Santiago, Chile early in the morning on 6 Feb and had the day to walk around the city. I was very impressed at how clean and metropolitan the city was and how beautiful the women are. On 7 Feb I was off to Easter Island.

Part 2 of our Chilean adventure. We explore the gorgeous Lakes Region of Chile and take a tranquil horseback ride to a remote cabin in the Andes.

We had an excellent time sampling the history and local culture of this magical isolated paradise.

We sailed for days to cross the Drake Pass and arrive at Antarctica. There I saw ice, penguins, more ice, and more penguins and it was very cold. That was my trip to Antarctica. Did you think that you would get off that easy?
