Trekking in the Torres del Paine

---

The main attraction around Puerto Natales is the Torres del Paine National Park, one of Chile's most beautiful and famous. Its main feature are the three granite towers.

The only way to properly appreciate the park is by foot, the typical trail taking 4 days. Being of the more lazy variety, we settled on skipping one day, cutting the trek down to three days.

The first day we hiked up to the torres, and were lucky enough to actually see them. Weather in the area is very unpredicatble, and we had rain, snow, gale-force winds interspersed with sunshine every day! The second day was a little easier, though we also covered quite a distance of 24km. On day three we were planning to hike to a glacier, but mother nature had other plans. It rained all morning, so our plans had to be abandoned and we headed back to Puerto Natales...
