Derek and Ann’s Travels in Chile
FEBRUARY 2012 After our fantastic trip to Antarctica we arrived back in Ushuaia to wonder where next. We decided a get a bus and see a bit of Chile and go into the/ Torres del Paine where they had recently had a fire and a lot of the area was+ devastated. We hired a car and drove around. One day we were driving along when we saw a couple of condors flying above us, THEN more and more. We stopped the car, apart from one car driving off ahead, there was no one. We saw in the distance a kill and so walked towards it and saw masses of condors either sitting on a hill near by or eating the carcass Quite an amazing site (see our photo). As they flew overhead I was a bit worried but Derek reminded me that they only eat dead meat and we were still alive!!! We also drove round the some of the Lakes and the scenery was amazing. We enjoyed our short stay in Chile and would like to go back. Eventually we caught several buses and arrived in Buenos Aries for our flight back to the UK
