Photo by Michael George @migeophoto // In the morning I confirmed that waking up in Patagonia is a permanent extension of that groggy headspace between dreams and reality. To my right, I saw a rainbow in the fog as I walked to breakfast. To my left, two free-range horses ran up as if to say good morning. My pre-coffee brain tried to catch up as I thought: It is too early to weep in the face of nature. I arrived in the lobby where Geraldinne, our local guide, was waiting to announce her next slogan: “Welcome to Patagonia: Four seasons. One day.” East of the hotel there was a stable operated by baqueanos (pictured here), the cowboys of Patagonia. We set off to see Torres del Paine National Park from a different angle, riding on top of a horse. I mounted stubborn Piojo, the laziest and hungriest horse in the group, and we trotted along as Geraldinne and the baqueanos demonstrated a deep connection to nature. They kissed and hugged the horses with a parental tenderness, always speaking of how we must respect this land. We entered the Lenga Forest where Geraldinne’s tagline proved itself. Peering at the sky above, snowflakes began to fall through the blue and settle on the dirt below. The next hour brought a light rain, some snow again, and then sunlight filtering through the trees. The wind was strong enough to throw my helmet backward. In Patagonia the wind is a spirit. It arrives at night, waking you up with the sounds of the afterlife. It howls and spooks and will easily knock you down. Last year it blew a bus of 40 people off the road. From atop Piojo, I understood why Chile is described with mystical language. The lakes are bluer, the mountains are sharper, the winds are stronger, and the weather is stranger. Meteorology is a moot profession. A waterfall in Patagonia can’t fall just once. It has to fall three times. On two sides. // #baqueanos #patagoniaculture #chileancowboy #ActonClimate #ClimateChange #TorresdelPaine #Patagonia #Chile #Globalwarming #meltingglaciers #saveourglaciers
