Today our Patagonia Trekkers enjoyed another day on the trail, this time up in the Bader Valley. The weather wasn’t perfect but that didn’t stop them from having a nice lunch at the “big boulder”, a great vantage point even in less than ideal weather.
After lunch it was back to Refugio Los Cuernos for some bootleg sangria. That’s right, bootleg sangria. The team has taken to combining the fruit from their lunches with the wine served in the refugios to make their own sangria. It’s rough livin’ on this trek.
Tomorrow they’ll load-up and head over to Refugio Paine Grande, stopping in the French Valley for another postcard moment, weather permitting of course. Tomorrow is a bit longer of a day but a very enjoyable hike!
