Now, we’re back in Chile and doing the full -day circuit hike in the National Park Torres del Paine. Hola from Torres del Paine. We’re about to do the circuit trek. Right now, we’re standing in front of the Hotel Las Torres to do the first stretch, which goes from here to Serón, where we will camp for the night. So we start the circuit trek in the Chilean way by drinking Pisco What are you having for lunch? Nuts. Rabbit food. Alright, we’re now almost in Serón. We’re walking next to the Rio Paine. And the Campamento Serón, where we will sleep tonight, is in the back over there. Kristin, why are you so wet? Because it was raining. We arrived in Campamento Serón after hiking through the rain and set up our tent. Now, we go for a hot shower. Good morning from Campamento Serón. It was raining all night. But now, it’s dry. And we’re going to Refugio Dickson today, which is about. km. And as you see, while we got rain, the mountains got snow. We made it over the pass! And this is our reward. So, the last km, and then we are in Dickson.
