Things are better here now. We're still busy with lots of guests coming in and out, but I've been able to go on a couple adventures in the last couple days: a day off the estancia in Cochrane and Tamango National Reserve with Nadine and a couple guests, and an afternoon on the Lagunas Altas trail with Josh and Nick. Here are some photos from these excursions:
The Confluencia, where the Río Baker (middle) and the Río Chacabuco (right) join forces (flow to the left).
Our launch site for a boat ride up the Río Cochrane.
Looking upriver.
Lago Cochrane, the southern boundary of the future Patagonia National Park.
Looks tropical.

Cliff jumping!
A new kitty friend named Romeo.
Romeo looks a lot like my old kitty Sophie.
The valley from the Lagunas Altas trail. The campground is by the cluster of tall trees in the lower left, and the lodge, etc are farther in the background.
Southern beech forest.

Josh and Nick (playing peek-a-boo).
The first lake you see on the trail.

Happy dance.
OMG it's a guanaco!
Posing guanaco. Who trained this guy?
Great hiking companions.
And to sign off...my first attempt at a shot of the stars here, from the night we went camping for Collin's birthday. Pretty sweet.
