We moved on again today. Destination the area of Parque Nacional Torres De Payne and Puerto Natales Chile.
From El Calafate the road heads out into the wind-swept Patagonia steppes before a straight forward border crossing and then into the one horse town of Cerro Castilla. Castilla had nothing in the way of camping grounds or stores so we moved on to Puerto Natales with our friends Sam and Bernie. We need to hire some hiking gear so that we can hike the "W" a famous trail in PN Torres De Payne.
Camping
Camping Josmardos, on the corner of Esmarelda and Pratt. It's the only campground in town so one cannot be too choosey. Hot showers, limited electricity and somewhat crowded but close to town.
