PATAGONIA “ To worry solely about “
basic survival is the
most liberating form of
being human I have
ever experienced.
Our Independent Hiking
Experience in Patagonia
Within its enormous scale, Patagonia offers
a wealth of landscapes that I was determined
to explore on foot. While it is possible to go
on multi-day guided hikes, my fiancé and I
decided to hike on our own. The eight-night,
nine-day, 130km O-Circuit in Torres del Paine
would prove to be our adventure of a lifetime.
A few things we knew prior to embarking
on this journey were that there would be no
electricity, food and connectivity of any form.
All we had at our disposal were designated
camp grounds, fresh glacier water in the
river streams, and if we were lucky enough, a
shower at the campsite. However, we would
have to forego the luxury of a hot shower.
