Nov 8, 2009 - Torres del Paine National Park

After arriving in Puerto Natales we hired camping equipment, then the following day took the bus to Torres del Paine National Park were we completed the trek known as the "W" (because when you look at it on a map the route looks like a "W"!) We spent 5 days completing the trek which meant 4 nights camping in the national park, so on top of completing the 75km plus trek we also had to try and sleep in a freezing tent - and it snowed two of the four nights! Needless to say it was a challenge and we were glad to return to the warm hostel on the 5th day but it was totally worth it as the national park is stunning (as you will see from the photos). ...
