shh listen we're in Patagonia good morning it's John and Jocelyn from
JJ escapes we're here in Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia today is
day seven out of nine days on the O circuit which means we're almost done way more than
halfway we're not walking yet even though it's 9:30 a.m. because we have an ultra chill
day today massive change of plans yesterday we were supposed to have a nice easy walk up to
Camp Frances but the weather report said that there was going to be bad
weather this morning so
we decided to do the Britanico Lookout yesterday incredible views 100% worth it check that out
in our previous video pray for good weather when you're up there because the weather changes
all the time the weather report is only as good as 12 hours 24 hours max so be flexible in
your scheduling and be fit enough to do 30 km a day see you guys later I give this campsite
a rating of 7 out of 10 it was initially a six because there's no view the facilities are meh
the
kitchen is so small the platforms were very hard to stake the tent to but plus one extra
point because the trees protected us from the wind look at those turquoise blue Waters
looks like southeast Asia except for you know those crazy mountains weather in
Patagonia doesn't get any better than this woo you might say that hiking in Patagonia rocks and just like that we're
at camp this is my kind of hiking oh hi Welcome to our tent since we arrived
at our camp so early we decided to give you a
tent tour so that you know how we've
been living for the past eight nights this is our tent it's a Naturehike Cloud up 3
and it looks very similar to another brand's tent down to the color this is a three
person's tent even though there's only two of us we use the remaining extra room for
all our belongings this is a double wall tent which means that there's a lot of mesh which
prevents condensation and keeps us cool when it's warm but also makes it cold when it's
cold on the inside we onl
y have two sets of mesh pockets on each side this is our bed over
here it is an inflatable mattress which is very important to keep our body off the ground and
we have down bags which have served us well for many years and an inflatable pillow for the
neck this is how we have lived for the past eight nights and it's been pretty comfortable
except that it's a little cold sometimes we'll do a full gear breakdown of what we brought
for the O circuit so check that video out later it is now 9:00
p.m. I got my triple
hood on and it's time to sleep it's our second last night on the O circuit here in
Torres del Paine National Park and tomorrow we're heading towards our final campsite
Chileno Chile campsite we've passed by the Italian campsite stayed at the French
campsite and now we're going to the Chilean campsite traveling all over the world here
tomorrow is a pretty easy day not too much climbing 13-14 km so about 4 to 5 hours
and with that good night see you in the morning good
morning it is day 8 and also
our second last day here on the O circuit in Torres del Paine National Park we woke up
here at Los Cuernos campsite underneath the Los Cuernos mountain range which is just huge
and imposing over us we didn't give a campsite to yesterday so begin this is the Los Cuernos
campsite the location is just amazing on one side you have the turquoise Lake and then on
the other side you have this snow-capped jagged Mountains and the campsite has a reception area
a dining
area a bar and a kitchen area all looks pretty rustic but I guess the location makes
up for it the campsites are all on platforms they're all staggered around and I think most
of them have a very good view the other thing that we didn't know about this campsite is
that they have lodges premium luxury lodges going for $400 a night that we can't show you
unfortunately because yeah we didn't pay for it so we can see how it looks like and we can tell
you whether it's really worth $400 I think t
his is worth a $400 view yeah the view is worth
$400 but you pay $20 and you get campsite if the view is what you're going for just go for
the campsite and now the score drum roll please I give this campsite an eight out of 10 solo
huh is it low yeah didn't you give something 10 out of 10 no I gave nine 10 out of 10 oh okay
I give it an eight out of 10 mainly because of the location and the food was delicious oh my God
delicious the salmon was delicious yesterday not many people stay here a
t Los Cuernos most people
either skip it or use Frances as the alternative campsite I think this is better than Frances
definitely better than Frances we are packed up we have a full belly of breakfast and
we're going to hit the trail see you guys later all right we're now on the trail pretty
chill day today about 13 km to camp but it's day eight and my shoulders are killing me
one problem that I've been having on this Trail after traveling for six months I've lost
so much weight that my h
ip Belt doesn't fit me anymore it's like at maximum tightness and it's
totally loose I've basically been carrying this pack with shoulder straps only oh that's no fun
especially in the beginning of the trail when our bag was full of food I'm definitely going
to need a massage at the end of this Trail oh now this is a Patagonia view it's a clear
morning woo look at this Blue Lake ice mountains incredible secret waterfall sh listen you hear that that's the sound
of no wind oh yeah you can hea
r the birds Sound of Silence so we stopped by traveler's Cascades
as a quick side trip I'm tell you a really funny story and we heard this story from the horse's
mouth so we're not racist a couple years ago the entire area around Camp Italian was burned
down because some hiker with questionable morals set fire in a place that he was not supposed
to set fire too maybe he was making tuna can fires the secret Israeli tuna recipe that's
what it is turns out this guy was an Israeli guy and this
Israeli guy burned down the entire
forest and because of that incident now you'll see signs at the campsite that says no fire in
Spanish obviously cuz everyone speaks Spanish here in English and also very specifically
in Hebrew I don't read Hebrew so if you can read Hebrew please translate it for us and
let us know if this story is true peace you can tell it's not a very well-used Trail cuz
the trees have grown over it probably an old horse trail maybe for the wild horses speak of
the devi
l there they are wild Patagonian horses hola are you coming with us i'm scared of them I
thought you like horses I think they'll kick me I think Jocelyn is just mentally exhausted
after 8 days of carrying that heavy bag we're just going to push through get the camp hot meal
waiting for us come on One Foot In Front of the other welcome to Camp Chileno this is our last campsite
before we complete the O circuit over here we have the platforms for the tent our tent is over there
if it's not eno
ugh that you climbed 500 M from the previous Camp to get here they make you climb even
more to go to the platforms I need the sticks here this building we have the banos and the showers
if you're not camping you have to pay 1,000 pesos the toilet is like meh this is the
restaurant the bar and sitting area it's very rustic place as is common for Fantastico Sur
I give this campsite a rating of 7 out of 10 the platforms are so high up from the reception
area that we have to climb like another
100 m up to get to the camp but the food was pretty
good except the very strange dessert which John enjoyed it is our final night here on the O
circuit and it's bittersweet for me at least I think it's maybe just sweet for you it's pretty
early but we need to get some shut-eye because tomorrow is going to be our earliest Alpine start
wake up call at 2:30 and we need to start hiking by 3 in order to catch the sunrise and catch
the good weather window please pray for us it better be damn good
because I hiked nine days
for this good night see you in the dark in the morning good morning it's a talking light speaking to you
because it is 2:30 a.m. and we've already started our hike it's our final day here on the O circuit
in Torres del Paine National Park we want to try to catch the sunrise at the Torres and it is a
2 hour hike up a steep Mountain not going to get much footage until we get to the top it's actually
not that cold but 2 a.m. is still no fun see you guys at the top of
Mirador Torres the sunrise
is just coming out there's a tiny bit of pink I don't think you can see on the GoPro yet but
come on please have good weather please have good weather all right guys welcome to the Torres the crown
jewel of Torres del Paine National Park oh my God the spires of Patagonia we're so lucky we're
so lucky with the weather so lucky with the sunrise oh my God it was incredible it was
forecast to be a bit cloudy today but it is not there's a little bit of cloud cover but
oh it's incredible here I've been dreaming of Patagonia for years and here we are I can't
believe it most people on this channel won't know but today 22nd November is our 2-year wedding
anniversary 2-year wedding anniversary and during the wedding in my vows I talked about

Park it's been 9 days incredible Adventures Crazy views Terrible Weather but also great
weather so you never know what you're going to get when you're in Patagonia cuz it's like
a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get it was an amazing experience

angerous this place is broken bridge from this morning
where we had to Ford the river oh my God we've made it to Hotel Las Torres the only hotel inside
Torres del Paine National Park which is kind of similar to Sanctuary Lodge which is the only hotel
in Machu Picchu and this is most definitely not where we'll be spending tonight what because we
can't afford it but maybe a beer maybe a beer from here just kidding it was too expensive
at Hotel Las Torres even for a beer not even for staying b
