Leaving Ushuaia we continued along the Beagle Chanel and moved up to Punta Arenas and the Straits of Magellan. We chose a long day trip to Torres del Paine (Towers of Blue) an outcropping of mountains in the Patagonia pampas. Even more dramatic than the Tetons. Pictures really do not do justice. It took us a bus to the airport, a flight to Puerto Natales and then a 2 hour bus ride to the mountains and the park. We had a fantastic day, particularly for Patagonia. We had clear skies over the mountains and little wind. I can only describe the pampas as amazing. It was then a reverse trip back, so essentially we started as the ship landed and arrived just before departure. It was worth it!!!!
