Torres del Paine

Five days trekking in the park

At the southern end of Chilean Patagonia, this massive national park has everything Patagonia can offer: lakes, mountains, glaciers, nature and crazy weather!
The most popular route inside the part is the W circuit, which takes five days, sleeping in 'refugios' scattered along the paths.
Having walked about 60km in five days, I made it alive to the end of the circuit, but just about! The park is known for the extremely changeable weather conditions, and in five days I encountered snowstorms, wind storms, rain and hot sunshine, all while walking on steep and often rocky paths...
While some of the views were amazing, I would recommend this park only to those who are really passionate about mountains and camping..
The pictures below show some of the highlights of this adventure at the end of the world...

After one of the steepest walks ever, I made to the 'torres', the three towers  the park is named after

Walking along the beautiful park lakes

'Valle del Frances', where the 'cuernos' mountains meet the glaciers, a truly amazing view on top of another very steep path...
