\"Hiking<\/a>
Hiking to Loma del Pliegue Tumbado<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I looked around the table and wondered \u2013 how did this happen? How is it that at 43 I\u2019m the youngest one on this hiking trip AND I\u2019ve got the dullest stories? For the first time in my travels, my travel and adventure experiences are overshadowed by the people around me. I eagerly ask them questions, hang on their every word and wonder if I would ever have the ability or guts to accomplish what they have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tables have been turned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was expecting my 7-day Argentina hiking and glacier trekking itinerary<\/a> from Adventure Life to be full of excitement and challenge. After all, my itinerary included four days of hiking in the mountains, two nights of camping, hiking on glaciers, boat rides, and estancias<\/a>. But I didn\u2019t expect one of the highlights to be the people I was traveling with. I love traveling solo<\/a>, but I\u2019m not a fan of hiking solo<\/a> \u2013 so I was excited to be a part of a small group for hiking<\/a> \u2013 however, you never really know what you are going to get with groups like this. The great thing about trekking adventure groups is that they usually attract some pretty hard-core people, and I hit the jackpot with this group! We started as strangers not more than a few days ago \u2013 and now we are friends after hiking for miles and miles, camping, and having long discussions over beers.<\/p>\n\n\n

My companions had achieved such things as skiing across the Greenland icecap for five weeks, living in remote Africa, daring canoe trips, ice climbing, and one of the men had even climbed Everest\u2026yes, Everest. Every story that came out of their mouths I was glued to – and every one of them was older than me \u2013 by at least a decade. They were grandmothers and parents – they were all retired and having the time of their lives. They were hearty and fearless, and they were excellent role models for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As expected, the hikes around El Chalten were wonderful, scenic, and definitely challenging. We hiked the area for four days, camping for two nights in a semi-permanent campground, staying for one night at Hosteria El Pillar, and staying one night in El Chalten. The four days provided me with an amazing landscape of photography, which took my mind off of my sore muscles! Not only did I love the scenery and the photographic opportunities, but I also loved the company I was with \u2013 and that\u2019s what makes a trip memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
