It’s hard to believe we’re just four weeks away now from our trip to Patagonia! The flights were booked back in January and for a while it felt like November would never come- but now it’s approaching so quickly!
Originally when we planned on this trip our thought had been to do the W Circuit through Torres del Paine in Patagonia region of Chile. However, after our experience on the Inca Trail and just how difficult that was we decided to re-think our plan of spending 4 straight days hiking in unpredictable weather while carrying all our gear and food on our backs for those four days. So, when we got back from Peru I did a bit of tweaking and came up with our revised version below. I’m more excited about this one now than before and think it will be much more fitting for our travel preferences.
