Day 8: An Unexpected Rally and Glacier Adventures

After a full day of trekking, we were completely exhausted the night before, so we opted for a slow morning.

While still in bed, we heard some unusual sounds passing by in this remote area. Curious, we rushed to the window, and to our surprise, classic cars were driving past our hotel, one after another.

It turned out to be La Gira Andina 2012, a classic car rally. Starting in Cartagena, Colombia, at the northern tip of South America, the rally followed the Andes all the way down to the "End of the World"—Ushuaia, Argentina. What an incredible adventure! We were thrilled to witness it, even if only for a brief moment.

Later, we made our way to the Martial Glacier Chairlift to begin our next adventure. After taking the lift, we arrived at the glacier, dazzling white and cold, perched about 1,000 meters above sea level. We hiked down slowly, enjoying the crisp air and the peaceful surroundings. It was a nice, relaxing promenade.
