2 days left in the park- and I cant say I minded. The weather was wet, the showers all cold and I was doubting my travel plans. Knowing the gorgeous Chilean Mediterranean Climate climate link, why didn't I spend my entire vacation in the Santiago area? I could have been climbing 5000 meter mountains and glaciers link, sunning myself on the beach with beautiful Chilean girls link, dipping in hot s... Read Full Entry

I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors. In 2004 I began working full time, taking advantage of every free weekend and holiday while liquidating my yearly vacation for bigger trips to other countries. I especially love conifer forests and alpine mountains. I'm currently taking pictures of Kids and Models, check out my Facebook page for details! [url=ht... full info

Great pics!
Wow! Again I'm really jealous. These pictures really turned out great. I'm impressed. Sounds like you didn't have a good time, huh? Just playing. I'm sure you were in heaven! Take care, Angela

World Heritage
Wow your pics are fantastic. These photos capture the wildness of this remote region. I am glad Chile kept this park and hope to someday visit when I am rich and away from the drudgery of my dark cubicle world.

all are welcome...
Im sure Torres del Paine would be happy to see you, and I know the friendly Chileans would be happy too! Your welcoming would be filled with gale force winds, chilly rain, maybe snow and for sure constnat change in the weather- this is the welcoming everyone gets at Torres!

torres del paine weather
previous poster believes that everyone gets horrible weather in Torres del Paine national park here in Chile. I am a guide in Patagonia and visit the park frequently. Many days are simply perfect, with mostly sun and hardly any wind. Others can be pretty harsh. But you can't say that the universal condition is rain and strong winds, just that you need to be prepared for strong variations and temperature ranges. Enjoy your visit.

on the contrary
The impresson may be from my blog that the weather was "Bad"... but really if you read previous posts some of the comments about "being here on better terms" had more to do with my wallet being stolen! besides, I fully expected-like anyone should- that going to Torres del Paine, or any other polar region, in the fall would mean cold, rain and snow. Never once did I say 'horrible', 'terrible' or 'bad' when referencing the weather!!! On the contrary my friend vellbruixot, I know that if it wasn't for the rain, cold and wind- I wouldn't have gotten the great pictures or the solitude I had hoped would come from the trip.
