The fauna of Torres del Paine is quite diverse and exotic. It was the first time I saw at a distance of a couple of meters a huge condor – understanding now why they can indeed fly away with a sheep in their claws. Near the Grey Glacier I was not expecting though to see a flock of green noisy parrots flying so low that I had to crouch – these are the southern most parrots in the world. Icebergs and parrots are certainly not a usual combination!! I did not see pumas, but instead guanaco bloody bones. Guanacos are “cousins” of llamas, and they can cross the roads at any moment. Saw also some nandus, the South America smaller “cousins” of African ostridges. |
