Torres del Paine

The Torres de Paine was the highlight of Chile for me, if not the entire trip. I fine tuned my sun dance for this 4-day trek and did it pay off - clear blue skies, low winds and not a hint of rain (unheard of for the microclimate of this National Park).

This hike encompassed about 6-8 hours of hiking per day across spectacular landscapes, huge glaciers, breathtaking rock formations and incredible mountains. The 3:00am start to hike up to see the Torres del Paine at sunrise was well worth the trip. Of course, the trip was made even better with the wonderful company of fellow travelers Anne, Ignasi, Jordon and Kathryn.
