Grey Glaciar

The walk to the Grey Glaciar was an additional walk that we decided to do once we'd completed the W Trek. It was an extra 11km and it was my favourite walk of the five days, very few people walk all the way to the Glaciar, opting to view it from the mirador (view point) which is quite some distance away and which means that they only need to walk for four days.

It was quite a tough walk, we had to go up and down two 'ladders' made of scaffolding and cross one very wobbly bridge but it was so worth it. We only saw a handful of people the whole day and the views of the Glaciar were incredible.

It's a long way up or down which ever way you look at it.
Icebergs ahead....
The colours were ever changing
We walked along side the Glaciar through the glaciated valley which was stunning. The light kept changing through the day which made the Glaciar appear white initially and then all different shades of blue until looking back on it on our return journey it appeared to be electric blue.
Awe inspiring!
