The NP is about eighty km away from the Singular Hotel and we did the trip in eight seater vans. It is mostly on paved roads, within the park gravel takes over.

The landscape is dominated by the towering peaks and lakes. Quite a spectacular sight. We saw them from many angles.

Waterfalls a feature as well. As it is mid summer the wild flowers are starting to die off but they remain plentiful, particularly around the lakes.

We had numerous sightings of Guanacos and Rheas. Rheas are a flightless bird, Patagonias answer to emus, although smaller.

Birds were also common sightings. We had several sightings of condors. But a way off and difficult to photograph from the moving van.

Well appointed camping areas are a feature of the NP, a little chilly at night I suspect, small fires are allowed in the enclosed fire pits adjacent to the covered tent sites. We stopped in one for a picnic lunch with the towers a backdrop.

We took a different route out of the park hoping to catch sight of a puma. But the elusive animal was not to be seen.

It had been a great day out, little walking but weary non the less. We returned to the Singular for dinner and bed. We are next off by plane to Santiago and the flight home to Brisbane.
