Margie's Torres Del Paine and Atacama Desert Trip
I joined the Pure Patagonia tour and continued on to the extended tour of Atacama Desert. Adventure Life paired me with Janet Gordon which worked out very well. We joined eleven others on our trek in Torres Del Paine, and joined a few others on our day trips from San Pedro in the Atacama Desert.

Our first adventure was an early morning trip to an island penguin colony, populated by about 69,000 couples of mainly Magellanic penguins. We were limited to a pathway through some of their nesting areas, but they were not.
We saw many young ones peaking out of their nests of holes in the ground. The sounds of so many penguins calling to each other was great.
In the afternoon we were drive by van to Puerto Natales where we stayed at the Weskar Lodge.
