Today we woke up very early to catch a 4:30 am flight from Santiago airport. This flight would take us to Punta Arenas witch is at the bottom of South America.
When we landed there we rented a 4X4 SUV from Europcar.
The person at Europcar told us that the car we had booked cannot go to Argentina. We had to cancel all our hotel bookings in Argentina and make new bookings in chile. We drove to Puerto Natales via Villa Tehuelche. At Puerto Natales we could not find one hotel for 3 nights of Christmas 24, 25 and 26 December. Some hotels were closed. We found one hotel who got us rooms for 2 nights of 24 and 25. Then we found another with rooms for the 26 th night, and finally we were organized. Now we drove to the torres del paine national park
On the way we stopped at some places like Cerro Castillo, Lake Sarmiento etc for some beautiful photos.
We reached our hotel at 6:30 pm. It is a very big hotel just next to the grey lake from witch it gets its name.
Our rooms were having views of the lake and also the grey glacier it was very beautiful. We went for a walk by the water front at 11 pm and there was still light.
