Cerro Torres

From Cerro Torres

After yesterday's marathon trek, we decided on a more modest outing today - to view El Chalten' s other main set of peaks, the Cerro Torres. Rather than do the whole day trek to the lake at the base of the peaks, we opted for the much shorter 3 hour round trip to the main viewpoint. Still impressive, even from that distance.
Getting back in the early afternoon, we had plenty of time for a refreshing beer followed by loads of homemade ice cream, which is quite a speciality in Argentina.  Then it was time to catch the bus back to Calafate and an excellent vegetarian pizza in the restaurant attached to our hotel.
