In the last few hours, Pedro Quinan’s experience in below-zero temperatures this winter went viral on the Internet.
Pedro Quinan, a resident of Río Turbio, has been experimenting with trekking and mountaineering in the entire Carbonifera basin area and surrounding areas for six years.
This weekend, his latest camping experience with -18 °C in a mountain area 2 kilometers from Río Turbio and with a unique view of the city went viral on Redes.
The photo that went viral on Redes shows Pedro’s illuminated tent and in the background the Route to the Valdelén Ski Center and the city of Río Turbio in a nighttime panorama. Without a doubt, a landscape like no other, which Pedro enjoys every so often that he can.
In dialogue with the Editorial Team of El Que Calla Otorga, he told us about his adventures in the high mountains. “The idea is to get to know the entire surroundings of the coal basin, we have so much virgin and little-known vegetation that it is worth going out for several days” he began. describing Quinan.
Later he told us most of his journeys » At the moment I know two lagoons (more than 20 exits) a place that is private, Cerro Dorotea on Google maps appears as Cerro Mirador and better known as La Condorera (6 exits), Meseta de La Torre (3 exits), a place that would take days to explore on foot, I have only known its summit with a height of 1062 meters, the small mountain range (1 exit) approximately 1050 meters high, and Sierras de Roger that I visited » in that way in detail Pedro Quinan described all of his Camp experiences to us.
In another section, he told us “at a local level I did the Cascadas del Matadero, which is a short section but it is worth knowing and the biggest thing I did was La Vuelta al Huemul in El Chaltén (2 exits), the first one alone, they are “3 nights and 4 days traveling one of the longest circuits of that beautiful place in Patagonia,” he said.
When asked if it was the first time he had camped in the winter season, he told us “No, this winter is the third time, I camped in Cerro Dorotea with -7 C°, I did La Lomada with -5 C° and the Mirador de la Soga which “It is the last one with a temperature of -18 C° according to some records from that cold morning in Río Turbio.”
Without a doubt, we highlight the Extreme Adventure activity carried out by Pedro and others from our area of the Carboniferous basin and Southern Patagonia, and that in this way they seek to discover the attractive landscapes that many of us still do not know.
