Walking in the Torres del Paine mountains of Patagonia

‘On no previous journey am I conscious of having done more. Patagonia is as I expected but more so… In the east you suddenly confront the great wall of the cordillera with bright turquoise lakes (some are milky white and others a pale jade green) with unbelievable colours to the rocks’.
Bruce Chatwin, letter to Elizabeth Chatwin, January 1975
