Here the peaks stand like giant needles piercing the cloudy sky! There\u00a0are no paths to the top\u00a0of the\u00a0mountain… as if nature wants to maintain the invincibility and the secrets of the heavenly needles and to preserve them by any means \u2013 all of them flanked by\u00a0vertical granite walls, unseen ice tunnels and huge expanses of glaciers, bathing their foothills\u00a0into the fjords of the South Pacific!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WELCOME TO PATAGONIA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Argentina\u2013Chile border is maybe a demarcation of the Edge of the World at all… Many people call this place \u201cThe End of the Earth\u201d. Four Bulgarian climbers, however, considered the end of the world as a start-up of an Expedition, which purpose was to conquer the granite bastions in the Patagonian Andes and thus exceeding their lofty goals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2015, the team hit the road to the Fitzroy massif, the Torres del Paine peaks and Cerro Torre \u2013 the  Patagonian giant, whose Dragontail Peak  with imposing silhouette became not only the main goal, but also a symbol of the Bulgarian climbers  \u2013 the \u201cDragon’s Tail Expedition \u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Expedition to the formidable peaks unapproachable by man continued for 68 days. Despite the high wind speeds reaching 200 kilometres per hour, protecting the massifs and attempting to push the team back from their final goal, the cold temperatures ranging from -15 \u00b0C to -25 \u00b0C degrees and trying to freeze their desire to conquer the Patagonian \u2018Dragon\u2019, no natural force could break the Spirit<\/em> of the Bulgarian Expedition! Whatever it takes, when your strive for high aspirations and the Spirit<\/em> guides you, you can walk thousands of kilometres, you can even turn the world around, but you will be grateful getting to that moment when you have succeeded to overcome both the natural forces and yourself, and all you have to say is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I SET HIGH GOALS FOR MYSELF AND I EXCEED THEM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 6th<\/sup> Day of January 2016, after non-stop rock climbing for 12 hours, for the first time Bulgarian climbers succeeded and stepped on the summit of Cerro Torre and thus conquered the most fearsome Patagonian \u2018Dragon\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The understanding of the Bulgarian climbers of this moment of happiness is defined as an \u201cimpeccably white emotion\u201d, which contains the full spectrum of colours, and add that they will remember Patagonia not as the Edge of the World, but as a place that leaves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ULTIMATE FIRST IMPRESSION  FOREVER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect white landscapes to the West, oil green steppes to the East, with orange giant granite rocks and, when sometimes the clouds reveal the sky \u2013 blue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Patagonia in emotions and colours. To touch its exciting and inspiring Spirit<\/em> \u2013 explore the rich colour palette and impeccable quality of the new SPIRIT interior paints<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
