20 December 2021 Torres del Paine: Explora some Hot Tub

 


Due to Covid the pool and outdoor hot tubs are by appointment only.  We booked a Jacuzzi for the two of us and a massage for me.  The tubs are outdoors right along the lake and are sheltered from the wind.  A perfect place for some fun in the water.  I brought the waterproof camera to take pictures and took advantage of the close up function.  With the intense sun and the hot water it was easy to get too hot.  There is also a dock and stairs into the lake.  The guides have a tradition of spending a full minute in this ultra cold water.  That is a dedication to traditions that I do not share.  


Can it get any more intense of a color blue?


The common dandelion is uncommonly large here

Anyone ready for a dip?

This is a side trail that we chose not to take
