Torres del Paine NP - CHILE


We had a wonderful 5 day trek through the Torres del Paine National Park and I just enjoyed my third shower since we got back last night.... MUCH BETTER!

The weather was great and we had a fantastic experience climbing up and down the rugged valleys offering amazing views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers and lakes. We stayed in our tent again and enjoyed our independance and hot porridge in the mornings, yum!

This is a view of the famous Torres which give the park their name. We had to walk 900 meters in height in one day to get to see them (with our giant backpacks). I thought I had to die but it was so worth it. Just to sit there on this rock and admire the rock formations and the Condors gliding high above in the blue sky ...

The park is very impressive - I will never forget this week in my whole life.
