On Friday we did the Viedma glacier walk in all the gear; Saturday was this 16k walk in the foothills around the mountains of El Chalten, in rather less gear.
Although we haven't seen loads of wildlife yet - some guanacos (llama-like beasts), rhea (like emus), birds, butterflies and a thousand sleeping dogs, it is fair to say the landscape itself is heaven on earth, and best seen rather than described by me.
I'm still trying to sort out my connectivity (rubbish wifi), so will post photos when I can. Let's give it a go...
