After completing our adventures in Argentina Patagonia, finally we started our trip to Chile. Our driver/guide was Daniel from El Calafate. He said that he only drives from Argentina to Chile and this is an everyday trip for him

We started at 8.30am. He gave details of trip including for immigration procedures for exiting Argentina and for entering Chile. With trip of about 4.5 hours, we took few rest stops, and few more stops for wildlife (ostrich primarily) and beautiful landscape.

Ostriches

We also got a good idea of big ranches/estancias and the cattle and sheep raising on the estancias, on this trip.

Estancias with beautiful mountain backdrop

We stopped at this popular spot that gives all travelers coming from north their first view of Towers, but they were mostly obscured for us.

But the lake and the views were beautiful.

We also saw a lone flamingo in the waters

And a guanacho

We finally reached EcoCamp at 2pm. Although the lunch hours were over, they welcomed us with a big smile and helped us in providing late lunch.

Our Geodesic dome
The dome was pretty and very comfortable

We got the first glimpse of the iconic towers from our EcoCamp and our comfortable suite. at the same time, we entered in the forced digital detox zone of EcoCamp.
