We woke up rather sore and feeling sorry for ourselves, with yet another 22km hike ahead of us to Laguna Torre. The saving grace was that the hike was slightly less challenging than the previous day and we were distracted by the beautiful scenery which included a glacial moraine and pretty forest. After hours of walking, we finally reach the picturesque glacier and the lake for a lunch stop, but within 5 minutes of sitting down, we’re hit by piercing cold winds travelling at 100km per hour and we struggle to stay put as the wind blows us around - there goes lunch! We’re forced to find an alternative spot and after another 4 hours of walking we arrive back at our hostel with enough time to have a quick shower before hopping on a hour bus back to El Calafate.
