Little Adventures in Patagonia

First and foremost, the title is fantastic only if you know that Shepherd and I were so short in comparison to the people staying at our hostel. My new found confidence in my height from living in Latin America was once again knocked down by spending any amount of time near Northern Europeans. In the picture below, Mix from Denmark and Nikki from Germany easily made Shepherd and I look like children.

Patagonia is awesome and spending it with passionate and fun other travelers made it even better. This day we hiked the very easy but amazing Cerro Llao Llao near the 100 kilometer long Lago Nahuel Huapi. It was very beautiful. The view from the top was breathtaking.

One cannot help but just see the beauty that the world has to offer while sitting on top of Cerro Llao Llao.

With out getting too redundant I have one more picture from the top just because I cannot choose. Its very difficult when almost every picture you took turned out well by default.

We also went on an amazing around Cerro Catedral. It was cloudy this day, but the hike involved old forest, creeks, mountain faces, and waterfalls. We went with this friendly couple from Sweden that made the trip very fun.

Shepherd being his normal cute self decided to climb this area by a waterfall. Karma bit him on the way down though.

One cannot help but think of a world of elves and trolls in Patagonia. Without even trying you get lost in the world of forest mythology and natural wonder. You half expect a gnome to pop out at some point.
