The walk to Refugio Los Cuernos

After an early breakfast at 7:30 (ok, an earlyish breakfast, I am on holiday remember) we set off on our second day, headed to Refugio Los Cuernos. 

It was a scorching hot day and we had just short of 20km to cover but we had plenty of time, there was less elevation on the second day and so the walking was relatively easy and we took it slowly really taking time to appreciate the beautiful scenery that we were walking through, hills, valleys and lakes. The weather in Torres del Paine is incredibly unpredictable and we'd been warned, in spite of the exceptionally hot weather in Puerto Natales, to expect to see all four seasons on our trek, so far so good, we've only experienced summer.

Beautiful views all around
Mum, do you know what these are?

Some of the cloud formations are incredible

The walk is estimated to take about 10 hours but we made it to Cuernos for a late afternoon beer which was followed by a dinner not dissimilar to the night before, chicken and turkey seem to be the staples here.
