in ltl 10. one of our favorite towns in patagonia  argentina because of all the hiking opportunities  

and today we're probably doing the the second  most famous hike that you can get from here so  

today is day three since we hiked 20 plus  kilometers in one day yeah our legs are recovering  

and we're going to attempt 18 kilometers we are  heading to cerro torre in argentina patagonia

yeah there's one more difficult section  right at the end that would push it to 11  

or 12 kilometers and we're just not gonna we're  just not going to do that because we we want to  

feel good after this track so this should be  a beautiful trek there's going to be a lagoon  

waiting for us at the end beautiful mountain  views we're going to be hiking through the  

forest we've already ordered our lunchbox yeah  and another another reason we did delay i mean  

we were obviously stiff but the weather's been  bad for a couple of days the weather's gorgeous  

again today and tomorrow yeah so the only thing  for left for us to do is we'll pick up our lunch  

boxes we're gonna grab a big water and off  we go off we go let's do this let's go hiking

you're a scrapper

we found a helpful little map here this is  a fantastic sign board so this basically is  

showing all of the stop points we're going to  be having along the way so we we're going to be  

looking forward to a cascada margarita which is a  waterfall yeah i can see that off in the distance  

already yeah yeah i saw that too yeah so it's  coming up really soon and then later we're going  

to get the mirador of the toure which is going  to be amazing that's a lookout like a viewpoint  

exactly the first viewpoint of the of the tory and  then um five kilometers in that's where the trail  

splits before that's the connection to a different  trail that totally makes sense at kilometer eight  

we also have a campsite that's diagostini you can  spend the night there oh that's what it means yeah  

my bad i thought it was like a warning sign say  that's a more difficult area no no it's totally  

wrong then kilometer nine yes this is where we'll  be finishing guys yeah it's probably gonna take  

three hours to get to this point that's what the  information suggests yeah and this is probably  

where we're going to get the most iconic views  and shots and we will be having our picnic lunch  

yeah and up here it tells you it's nine kilometers  level intermediate is intermediate the trek we did  

to fitzroy was labeled as intermediate up until  that last like crazy kilometer which is which  

is obviously considered as difficult and so yeah  it's gonna should be a really easy hike today to  

be honest and there's less gain than the previous  hike in terms of elevation yeah only 250 meters  

yeah that's doable it's going to be it's going to  be a walk in the park compared to our last hike  

so one of the things we were told by the park  rangers when we first arrived here at this park  

is to not let the dogs in town follow you  because the dogs are very friendly and  

they just roam freely um but this park has  which is a type of deer that's endangered  

um so they're trying to protect it and obviously  having dogs here doesn't really help with that so  

if you befriend a friendly pup um try not to let  it follow you just be friendly with it in town

so

um

so

so

so

well we've made it to kilometer one guys we are  moving slower than a turtle today we thought we  

might be at kilometer two or three but no we've  just taken so many breaks to admire the views  

the most impressive being the waterfall oh my  goodness it was so grand just coming down in such  

different sections and crashing into the into the  river below just very impressive view we also had  

views of fitzroy patagonia as well and uh and some  of the other mountains and so it's just incredible  

views and the weather couldn't be better it's not  that windy we thought it'd be super windy because  

when we left town it was windy this morning yeah i  think we're shielded here we've been very lucky so  

far and we're hiking through the forest which is  nice yes it's nice kilometer two means it is time  

for a snack stop it's more like a mini lunch mini  let's be honest here our salad bowl broke again  

today so we're gonna be uh eating some of that  before it spills all over the bag um let me show  

you what we've got show and tell show and tell so  we've got a nice salad in here i'm not gonna take  

too much of it out but it's rice mixed vegetables  it's really tasty we had that last time i'm seeing  

carrots i'm seeing tomatoes cheese oh yeah egg  and cabbage too we have a turon and many bar  

which is peanuts basically yeah peanut bar we've  got an apple just like last time we got bottled  

waters which are on the side of our of our  of my backpack and mini muffins mini muffins  

and last but not least several candies it's  a nice lunch and we have two of these so  

we'll probably attack one not finish all  of it but it's gonna it's a mini lunch

greetings from somewhere just past kilometer  three there's this beautiful little pond that  

just kind of revealed itself out of nowhere i  was going around yeah i was going around the bend  

that was like audrey audrey you got to see this  beautiful very nice this hike is turning out to be  

everything that i had hoped for and more  i think one of the reasons i like it so  

much is that it hasn't been as crowded  there are definitely people hiking here  

you do pass people you do see people but it's  not a constant flow you have sections where  

you don't see anyone for quite a while i think  for people who only have a few days here in el  

chalten argentina they're all trying to make it  to laguna capri or laguna de los tres to see if  

it's roy so this one gets a bit less traffic but  it is stunning also we just went past the mirador  

where you can see so many different peaks and the  glacier we saw fitzroy to the to the far right  

we almost saw the very tip of of torre serratore  patagonia yeah today we've got some cloud coverage  

but what we did see very clearly and what was  most impressive to me was the glacier glacier  

we saw that full visibility yeah  this hike has just been phenomenal  

and um i don't know i just feel i feel like  because we've done the other hike and we know that  

we don't have a difficult part to do at the end  of this one we've just been taking it more easy  

and yes i just feel there's there's no rush  today there's just no sense of urgency yeah  

there isn't a sense of urgency and i just feel  so relaxed today i'm just loving it i gotta admit

so

so

well guys we made it we sure did we  made it to laguna torre yeah thoughts  

thoughts well i think the second half of the hike  went about two to three times as fast oh yeah you  

just blasted through that area once you get by  like what is it kilometer three or four yeah  

it's more or less flat and you can really really  pick up some time pick up some speed and we did  

and um because i was beginning to think like  oh man are we actually even gonna make it today  

so i would say today's hike was more about the  journey rather than the destination whereas the  

one we did on the first day it was more about  the destination because that was epic today  

we got to the laguna torre yeah and you can't see  the mountain peaks they're all covered by cloud  

and the lagoon looked a bit little murky cafe  yeah i think it's the lack of sunlight it just  

looked a little it was a yeah yeah the waters were  murky it's not that it isn't spectacular it is  

you have mountain ranges to in all directions  yeah and you have little icebergs floating as  

well so it gets cool yeah in comparison  to fitzroy it doesn't have that that  

wow factor though on a cloudy day yeah because if  you could see those towering peaks that would be  

amazing i've seen photos of it and it's like wow i  want to see that but today just wasn't the day but  

with that being said i think i've enjoyed this  hike more than the previous one well in fact  

i don't think i have i know i have yeah he knows  here i could see it now that we've done the full  

single length in terms of the hiking experience  i enjoyed this one more oh it's just amazing i  

thought that there was a lot of variety on this  trail yeah there was like we went through that  

forest area it looked like a haunted forest we  also went along the road yes there was a haunted  

forest area but then there was a forest area where  there was a lot of cover and the trees were bigger  

yeah and i found that fascinating um  just so much variety and landscapes here  

great vantage points all throughout and just  a reasonable trail you know definitely in the  

intermediate level as long as you're as long as  you're healthy and you have decent legs and lungs  

you can definitely do this this this hike yeah and  now we are at camp de agustini if you wanted to  

camp overnight you could do so here we came to use  their bathrooms and you know what there's people  

cooking noodles on their little camp stoves and  i am so hungry i know those ramen noodles taste  

amazing we're gonna have a big dinner when we get  into town yeah that's the plan we will we'll show  

you dinner we're gonna get something hearty yeah  there's gonna be wine and there's gonna be dessert  

so stay tuned for that but first there's nine  kilometers yeah we're not gonna film too much of  

that probably but yeah we have nine kilometers to  go fast forward to the restaurant hello hello he  

is joining i'm joining you we never finished our  video after we completed the hike to laguna torre  

it's funny because we originally had planned on  maybe having a argentine fare with a bottle of  

wine and we didn't happen no we i think like about  five minutes back on on the way back yeah we were  

thinking we both had like this realization at the  exact same moment we want to have burgers again  

we want to have another hamburger because they  are so delicious yeah lazaro lazora the foxy lady  

the foxy lady the foxy the foxy gal oh my gosh  like like those burgers they kind of remind me of  

like like a shake shack level burgers like gourmet  burger really good craft beer and also loaded  

fries and so that's exactly what we ended up  having yes so i went for the burger i had already  

eaten before the spicy one with jalapeno peppers  it had hot sauce it had guacamole it was kind of  

like mexican style and it was good and i got one  with bacon wow and then we got cheesy fries that  

had bacon bits yes so i was like i i don't know  what the calories were but i don't want to know  

they were high they were high we had burned lots  of calories we both we we sure did so we we needed  

it we needed it that's that's the essentials it's  a justification and we had beer it was happy hour  

so we paid for a half pint but we got a pint that  was awesome yeah you had a stone stove oh i had a  

golden shell yeah i got to try some of yours too  it was good really liked it so we had a fantastic  

high calorie dinner and we weren't done we ended  up going for a waffle cone each at an artisanal  

ice cream ice cream i can't tell you the name  of the place because it literally just said  

it's artisanal ice cream and we  walked in but it's on the main drive  

it was delicious i ended up getting super dulce de  leche and then of course and then i got a coconut  

one as well yeah i got mascarpone  yeah and pistachio yeah that's good  

so we've we've we sure jumped into food right  away but we should talk a bit more about the track  

that compared to the the previous trek we did to  fitzroy that was a piece of cake yes absolute easy  

track in comparison i will say you do climb the  first three kilometers but it's not quite as steep  

no and you also have a few lookouts along the  way so there's plenty of places for you to stop  

rest catch your breath yeah it's not exhausting  and then after kilometer three and a half  

it's very flat you're like walking through  a valley and you have the glacier in front  

of you so that kind of keeps you motivated to  keep it exactly and you can really pick up some  

distance quickly yes like i remember when we were  going there we spent most of our most of them i'd  

say half the time in the first three kilometers  yeah and then from three to nine we just like  

it's just a breeze through and on the way back  because we're motivated by food it says supposed  

to be like a three-hour trek march i think we we  we we did it in like two hours and 20 minutes yeah  

that's how yeah we were so tired and motivated by  our hunger yeah nothing was getting in the way of  

our day everything was getting the way we put our  cameras down we just like we were on a mission for  

food it was hilarious but uh relative to the to  the fitzroy part especially where you do that that  

last hour is difficult on the other track this  one was an absolute breeze yes and i guess our  

legs were a little more fit with a couple days of  rest yeah and we just didn't we didn't come back  

feeling as sore or as tired that's for sure agreed  but all that being said after we had our burgers  

like we came back to the to the hotel yeah we  were just laid in bed and by like 8 39 i was  

like you know what i'm going to sleep you know in  all fairness i think it was a combination of of 20  

of almost 20 kilometers and also a little bit of a  food coma going on we were we had a lot of food in  

our bellies but overall a fantastic fantastic hike  i preferred this hike a little bit more and for  

the hike experience yeah not for the viewpoints  but for the actual hike itself i just felt i don't  

know it just felt very comfortable very relaxing i  think the views at the end would have been epic if  

we didn't have such horrible cloud coverage yeah  like we could not see cerro torre or the other two  

peaks right behind it and like that is just such  an iconic image like the three peaks behind the
