Day 2 was long, as we were awake before sunrise to catch the glowing Torres. We also needed to get to the next campsite “Seron”, which mean we walked for about 13 hours. Far south in Patagonia, the sun is up until about 11:30pm and rises at 4am, so doing long hikes is less of an issue. It’s great having light to set up tents and cook food at the campsites at night.

The weather and scenery were both spectacular. The trail was mostly flat and led through vast meadows of wildflowers with snowy mountains in the background. We spotted wild hares, eagle-looking birds and a cloud that looked exactly like a jellyfish.
