New Regulations in Patagonia

[W]

No, don't worry- no fees. In short, starting next season horses are not allowed on the trails, meaning, climbers will have to pack all their own supplies in and out of Rio Blanco and D'Agostini camps. And, the squalid "cooking shelters" will be removed, and not replaced. The former makes the trip cheaper, really, and makes you more fit. The latter is not a huge loss either- they are gross and leak like sieves- you just need to bring a bigger basecamp tent for cooking and hanging out.

It's too bad the Dept. of the Interior couldn't make sound decisions like this.
