After a great day in El Calafate we were heading to Cerro Castillo in Argentina to visit El Torre del Paine National Park while suddenly we got stopped by a flat tire

After a quick repair we moved further for… another 5km before we got stopped again by flatness. And even with a new repair set we were not able to finally reach Cerro Castillo. But a nice Argentinean guy picked Alex and Isi up and brought them to his Cabaña in La Turbia where we spent the night. And the man in the “gomería” is a friend of him and he fixed it… until we crossed the border… Now we are stuck in Puerto Natales waiting for Monday and a new tube. And I will order new tires for me as well before I go to Ushuaia. In the meantime I have enough time to do some walking in Torres del Paine. Let’s see…

After a two hours cruise which was less stressful for me than expected we arrived in El Calafate at a nice camp ground. They also offer beds for ~14€ a night what we take for one night as we don’t like to built the tent again. Then we made the last 80km to the glacier (paid $260,- entrance fee; ~€18,50) and were deeply impressed of the size of Perito Mureno.

It cracks all time and you need not to wait a long time to see pieces falling down.

The atmosphere and the clouds are so beautiful when we drove back. 

Finally we bought a nice steak for dinner and a good Malbec!
