We were
travelling just outside of Torres de Paine National Park. There were no roads
leading to Argentina, but one road ending in the border reagion South West of
El Calafate. On one map we've seen a mark for a hotel and were giving it a try.
A long drive! And I'll show you road condisions soon. We had to open cattle
gates and drive through the ground of estancias. Then, as we were reaching, where the hotel should
be, the final cattle gate had been with chain and padlock; the place looked deserted. We had to turn around. On our way back I saw
two shepherds, wild guys. They must have just returned from the great
wide open. Their faces were nearly blackened by sun and campfire smoke, but at
the same time glistening like been polished. I asked for the hotel, but the
answer was: "No hay nada!" Someone wanted to build a hotel. And
someone had put it on the map prematurely, when the remote area project already
had been abandoned.

A wild landscape, but used as pastures
It may look like a farm lane, but it's a road
After returning on the orad, the rainbow indicates good luck for finding a hotel to stay
