Feb 29, 2008 - Torres del Paine Day 1

Of all of the wildlife that I imagined I would see in Patagonia, flamingos would not have been on the list. The flamingos greeted our arrival to Torres del Paine National Park (pronounced "pine-nay", not "pain", although this may have been a better description after our hike today!). ... Torres del Paine was declared an UNESCO Biosphere reserve in 1978 and around 80,000 people visit it annually.Of all of the wildlife that I imagined I would see in Patagonia, flamingos would not have been on the list.

Nov 17, 2007 - Torres Del Paine: Walking the 'W' with binliners on porridge and pasta power

Don't worry I'm sure we won't get storms like this camping in the park! The night before we left we were both a bit nervous especially due to the unknown factor of the weather having heard countless tales of changing weather conditions, rain, wind and even snow.Don't worry I'm sure we won't get storms like this camping in the park!

Sep 24, 2007 - Torres Del Paine

Torres Del Paine It was yet another early start and this morning it really was tough to pull ourselves out of those warm sheets at 4:50am! We are trying to cram in as much as we can before we leave Argentina, and have discovered that there is so much to do on the Andean side of the country that we simply do not have the time.Torres Del Paine It was yet another early start and this morning it really was tough to pull ourselves out of those warm sheets at 4:50am!
