Torres del Paine Part II: Envy

Back to our South America saga (I've got to finish these up!)



Our first evening in the park, we stayed in the cheapest inn possible (only $110/night). It was bearable, but nothing picturesque. However, the most expensive place in the park was only 25 minutes away, so we decided to go there for a gourmet prix-fixe dinner. To stay at Hotel Explora, the packages were something like $5000-$10,000. It is an all-inclusive, with great food/service, built next to a waterfall, with an inexplicably perfect setting (turquoise river and soaring ice-capped peaks). Joel took some sweet photos of it and we are hoping that the company will pick he and Cara up to be their photographers (they also have sweet properties on Easter Island, and elsewhere in S. America- Google them, prepare to be amazed). If I were rich and famous, I would be down here for tranquility all the time.
