At Laguna San Rafel
Today we have had one of the most stunning walks in my life. Everything has worked out as planned and we have camped a cabin in a very lush jungle-like forest. It is mild, beautiful and very exotic.
From here we have carried 30 kilo of gear all the way up till the glacier. To come straight out of this green and onto a dramatic, white and rolling glacier is an experience worth a hole trip.
Tomorrow we will move all the rest up and get some snow and ice under our feet.
