Arrived at Refugio Piltriquitron and the tent is up. 30-40cm snow but not overly much. The trek up was tricky at times with an iced trail and a heavy backpack. Totally worth it!! Shoutout to my tent sponsor Garth Hovell @privateguideworldwide - totally makes this possible. . . . #snowcamping #mountains #snow #patagoniawinter #patagoniaargentina #privateguideworldwide #doitechile #himalaya2 #elbolsón #rionegro #argentina #cerropiltriquitron #visitargentina #experienceargentina #expeditiontraining #expeditionplanning #expedevac #findyouradventure #findyourpassion #igers_argentina #natgeoadventure (at El Bolsón)

Trekking Peninsula Mitre [460km, 60-days] Day 21 (187km from Ushuaia): Arrived here with 2 hours of light left and had just over 2km to go down to Puerto Español. Problem was that most of that was dense forest which was already dark, so trying to do it after sunset was not an option. I found a spot sheltered by some thick shrubs from the wind, on the turba (bog) which meant I also had access to water. The next morning (when this photo was taken), I headed down. It took me over 3 hours just to get to the forest and then still had to cross the Rio Bonpland. Luckily it was also low tide so no problem crossing. ______________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide Thanks so much!! _____________________ . . . #wildcamping #trekkingpeninsulamitre #tierradelfuego #hiking #wildernesstrekking #instatrek #doitechile #peninsulamitre #forgottenland #patagoniaargentina #explorepatagonia #visitargentina #expeditiontraining #turismotdf #turismoargentina #turismodeaventura (at Puerto Español, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxaIDZwgJqX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wsj0bf38l2km

Actually, I’m quite a big fan of camping in the snow. Yes, it isn’t always the best weather or conditions but, always memorable! . ______________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise plus a heavy-duty backpack to get to these places, was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) Thanks so much!! ______________________ . . #wildcamping #snowcamping #patagoniawinter #snowtrekking #trekkingushuaia #forestcamping #findelmundo #tierradelfuego #patagoniaargentina #ushuaialovers #turismoushuaia #turismotdf #natgeoadventure #bbctravel #fandelanieve (at Cerro Cinco Hermanos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3lUn0JiLH/?igshid=1fsvmt1kfsrhh

Camping alongside the Rio Bagualero in Bahía Aguirre - Península Mitre, during my 60-day 460km trek. In the next week I will be releasing my book about this expedition, my most comprehensive publication to date with over 140 photos and 40 maps. In addition to my daily diary extracts, there are sections on equipment, provisions, birds, mammals and a detailed itinerary with locations and distances. ______________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) Thanks so much!! ______________________ . . . #peninsulamitre #bahiaaguirre #bagualero #wildcamping #trekkingexpedition #tierradelfuego #doiteargentina #patagoniaargentina #remotetrekking #trekkingargentina (at Bahía Aguirre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4--jIwgGV6/?igshid=bfhf6m92kzdy

Tierra del Fuego as impressive in summer as in winter! 26 Dec. 2018 Trekking southeast toward Paso Beban along the rugged Alvear Mountains - a week before I headed out to Peninsula Mitre and 60 days trekking. ______________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) Thanks so much!! ______________________ . . . #tierradelfuego #trekkingpatagonia #sierraalvear #pasobeban #wildcamping #explorepatagonia #expeditiontraining #findelmundo (at Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3XTMylAfot/?igshid=4fivlbn7voma

Exploring south of El Calafate, I came across a side canyon leading up to a beautiful waterfall - nobody even remotely near, just the birds, bumblebees and butterflies on the flowers,a few horses and the stream bubbling past my tent.

Already after the first hour with the heavy pack, the deep snow was taking its toll - I was knackered but turning back wasn’t an option. Photos along the route - looking north over Lago Escondido, - Paso Garibaldi viewpoint in the distance, - 3/4 of the way looking down where I’d come from. ______________________ The 90 liter backpack for long treks with heavy weight was provided with the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) Thanks so much!! ______________________ . . #snowtrekking #winterexploration #expeditiontraining #pasogaribaldi #lagoescondido #tierradelfuego #findelmundo #trekkingushuaia #trekkingpatagonia #explorepatagonia #ushuaialovers #turismoushuaia (at Paso Garibaldi, Lago Escondido e Lago Fagnano) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mO4d0Amae/?igshid=1f3sh5dm1qia7

I just love snowy sunrises - colours, brightness and textures almost exaggerated...naturally. Sunrise this morning over the town and pampas of Cerro Sombrero. __________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) Thanks so much!! __________________ . . . #snowysunrise #cerrosombrero #turismoprimavera #munideprimavera #tierradelfuegochile #patagoniachilena #explorepatagonia #offthebeatentrack #winterexploration #visitchile #sernaturchile #marcachile #sernaturmagallanes (at Cerro Sombrero) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1B1BZ9AFxE/?igshid=12meaamfbdsm0

A lake with no name, north of Porvenir and the 3 large lakes - Laguna de Los Cisnes, Laguna Verde and Laguna Serrano. I spent a night and a full day here where over 200 Coscoroba Swans were on the lake. A couple of foxes went about their business not bothered about me. Late afternoon gaucho Eduardo Ojeda invited me to stay in his rancho for the night. With a fire roaring in the wood stove, we chatted over some maté (a traditional type of tea) and then coffee. A massive dinner with lambs meat was up next, Eduardo treating me all the time like an old friend. Showing off some of his handiwork, he pulled over the stirrups he’s finishing off. Once again, I was treated to the extreme friendliness and hospitality of the gauchos living out in the remote places. I feel honoured to spend time with such incredible people and listen to their stories. ________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide (Garth Hovell) My expedition backpack was also sponsored by Garth.

Day 56: 388km from Ushuaia.

Day 26: following the Rio Sudamérica towards its source from Bahía Valentin, I had impressively managed to progress 13km that day; a day consisting mainly of chest-high marsh grass and water/mud up to upper thighs at times. Pitching the tent at the edge of a marsh where it meets the forest, I had to "coral" the space to minimise surprise visits by wild and territorial bulls. ______________________ Having a tent that I could pitch in extreme conditions, both weather and terrain-wise was made possible through the support of @privateguideworldwide Thanks so much!! _____________________ . . . . #peninsulamitre #lavueltademitre #wildcamping #wildernesscamping #wildernesstrekking #notrails #remoteexpedition #trekking #wildtrekking #caminata #tierradelfuego #patagoniaargentina #expeditiontraining #findyouradventure #challengeyourlimits https://www.instagram.com/p/BuqstEplq3H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6kqgwo8u6pwb

Camping along the Beagle Channel on my trek from Ushuaia to Río Moat. A coast where few go to enjoy the some of the most incredible scenery that Tierra del Fuego has to offer, not to mention the sunsets! . __________________ Thanks to @privateguideworldwide for the support in my expedition planning and training with the sponsorship of this tent.
