The goal is to return in 21 years to this sign! I am standing in Argentina with Chile behind me…..it is also an area where the regional species of rheas like to graze (they look like a small ostrich.)
The sign is in a stretch of 100 KMs in either direction that is completely uninhabited, except for a small military outpost on the Chilean side and a customs house on the Argentinian side. There is no bus service here, unlike most road systems in these expansive countries.
The views are completely uninterrupted in all directions for our days long exploration that includes a stop at the Douglas Tomkins Look Out – a place that he loved and his wife, Kris Tomkins has continued to develop as a wild and open natural wilderness.
Our hikes go as long as we want them to! Here with John and Helen Davies, Dan Shaw, me and Michael Pulitzer. We are covered up in the face of stiff but exhilarating winds.
