We had aerial photos taken by the Chilean govt, but the thing is they took the pictures in the fall before the winds had come in, and the path we were following just dead-ended on a cliff -half of us were on one side of the canyon and the other half the other....they yelled at my team STOP!!! Come back!!! When we came back and hiked on the other side we saw that we were about to slide into the abyss of canyon had we kept going. :scared:

It was scary, but really the most character building experience of my life. Hell, I can walk 35k with only half a liter of water and some M&Ms if I ever need to again (and I better not)
