Chile - Part 2

Rio Serrano was the hotel we had been transferred to at the last minute from Hotel Lago Grey because of the fires, and things were still very much up in the air, which was slightly disappointing for us as this meant that we couldn't book any trips out, but the area was fantastic for walking.  This was also the same hotel that Robson Green had been to in January 2011 filming "Extreme Fishing - At the Ends of the Earth."  The place was amazing and very relaxing, and incredibly huge, but also very empty - most people had cancelled their holidays completely because of the fires.  The customer service was superb, the food excellent, and the view from our window outstanding!

The first picture shows the 180 view, and the second shows the Paine peaks, with the Torres (Horns)





Because the hotel had only just reopened, we weren't able to book any trips, but had some fantastic walks, and Harry climbed lots of trees!  We used the hotel more to relax than anything else!







 When it came time to leave Rio Serrano, we should have had a nice simple 50km transfer to Hosteria Las Torres, but because of the closures, we had to travel back almost to Puerto Natales, and then back out, giving us a 3 hour transfer!
