Patagonia Day 3


Day 3, out to nearby Lago Gutierrez for a daylong kayak in a deep Andean mountain lake. Perfect warm day, ice blue water, great folks took us out and took care of everything. Mellow paddle to some hidden beaches for swimming and eating and laying around. The guides were definitely not ready for us on their hands. :)

The forests here are noble and primevil and are mostly pine, but have all sorts of exotic species as well including monkey puzzle trees and bamboo! Had no idea bamboo grew in the high Andes.
