At the top of the Valle del Frances hike there is a hidden path that leads further up the mountain. The trek is very icy and bit dangerous at times. There is a large platform rock at the top of the hike that rewards the adventurous folks who dare to make the climb with an amazing 360 view of breath taking scenery.

We found a field of beautiful foxglove flowers during our hike from Refugio Grey to Paine Grande Campsite.
Foxgloves are also called Witches’ Gloves, Dead Men’s Bells, Fairy’s Glove, Gloves of Our Lady, Bloody Fingers, Virgin’s Glove, Fairy Caps, Folk’s Glove, and Fairy Thimbles. These are biennial plants and are tall, slender perennials at 2-5′ in height and just 1-2′ wide. It is a very statuesque plant. It has numerous tubular flowers blooming on a spike, ranging in color from purple to white. Foxglove flowers appear in the summer months. The flowers are bell-shaped and tubular, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long, flattened above, inflated beneath, crimson outside above and paler beneath, the lower lip furnished with long hairs inside and marked with numerous dark crimson spots, each surrounded with a white border. ~ Iflorist.co.uk

Glacier Grey begins in the Patagonian Andes Mountains to the west and terminates in three distinct lobes into Grey Lake. It measures 270KM and it’s located in the south end of the Southern Patagonia Ice Field.
The ice field of the lake can be seen right after full circuit trekkers overcome the Jonh Gardner Pass when traveling from east to west. Those who only trek the W can see Glacier Grey from Refugio Grey Camp Site. However, the best view is from a look out point located at Los Guardas Campsite where this picture was taken.

In late March we hiked the full circuit trek at Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia Chile. This week will bring you a photo series of our trek.
This photo is of Glacier Los Perros near Los Perros Camp Site. It was taken during very high winds where we had to sit on our bellies to not be blow into the freezing lake.

One of our favorite things in Ecuador was hiking the Quilotoa Loop from Insilivi located in the Central Andes Mountains to Quilotoa Crater Lake. During our trek we encountered local farmers working their land, beautiful scenery and this Hairy Donkey standing at the side of mountain.

There are a couple of theories that attempt to explain the mysterious hole on the side of Volcano El Hoyo. Some say it’s a sink hole, while most believe it’s a meteor, but not enough research has been done to know for certain how this huge hole got there. Our campsite had an amazing view of not only El Hoyo, but multiple surrounding volcanoes. We hired Quetzaltrekkers, for our 2-day trek. Quetzaltrekkers is a great organization that organizes trips and gives back to the local community.
