Trek and overnight on Mount Tronador

We hired a car and drove 2 hours from Bariloche to the base of Mount Tronador to start a trek up the mountain to Reefugio Otto Meiling  where you can stay overnight at the snow line.

Another glacier with waterfalls.


We were very excited by all the snow.






The refugio with fabulous views! An Argentinian Artic Commando troop were camping just outside the refugio whilst on exercise. 

 Home for the night. The dowstairs of the refugio was really cosy with candles everywhere. We had given two guys from the UK a lift to the base and ended up having a really great evening chatting with them.

There were about 60 people sleeping in the loft of the refugio so I was a bit concerned that Keith and I wouldn`t get any sleep. It was suprisingly quiet and we actually both had a great sleep. I slept till 8.45 and Keith got up for sunrise to take photos.

Dinner! Yum.

The morning after the night before :)
