Tye Chapman has our final Patagonia trek team of the season gathered up in Punta Arenas, Chile, headed up to Puerto Natales, and is ready now to get the show on the road. He forwarded a couple of photos for us and the quick email below.
“Hey Phil,
All is well in southern Chile. Yesterday’s drive from Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales was uneventful, just how we like it! Between naps, we saw guanacos, nandu, and flamingos; not quite The Big Five, but pretty good for Patagonia.
This is quite the team I have here! This crew has trekked and climbed all over the world together which made gear checks a piece of cake.

We’ve enjoyed some great food the past couple days, but we’re looking forward to burning some calories on the trail this afternoon.
More from Refugio Chileno this afternoon.”
