World Chile Magallanes Torres del Paine National Park

Liz and Ian's Travels

Torres del Paine Mar 7, 2008

Took a coach to Puerto Natales (nice ish town, but touristy town on shore of scenic lake, very reminiscent of fishing vllages in Sutherland-Scotland). From here a short (3hr) coach takes you to the National Park of Torres Del Paine. We spent 6 days here hiking the circuit - had a mixture of weather from snow, rain, knock you over winds and gorgeous sunshine! camping kit, food and cooking gear needed. After first 2 days the views improved to give impressive views of huges glaciers, granite spires and beautiful blue lakes. The mossies have mutated into blood sucking monsters in various locations - slap, splat.
