Chile - Patagonia: Torres del Paine and Isla Magdalena

If you like to do hiking, this is one of the great places! And here you also find the biggest Condors, which i saw several of (Got some nice pictures, I will upload them later). Its should be possible to fly here, at least outside the National park. The condors was thermaling big time! but then again, its extremly changing weather here so you have to be carefull!

In the picture you see the upper part of the french vally, close to the british campsite.

I spendt 4 days of hiking here in some of the nicest areas i ever been to, and ended up walking/climbing 70 Km.

Later on I got the great pleasure of visiting, Isla Magdalena outside Punta Arenas. The penguine you see on the picture is a Magallanes penguine. As you can see he was a little sceptical to my camerea :-)
