Finally we get to the Torres! Of which this park is most famous

The Torres at sunrise... it was cold!

The view as we were leaving the park... take a look at the reflection in the water... Tony has a good eye!

Wow did we get lucky! The ¨W¨was fantastic!

Let me explain... The W is a section of trail in Torres del Paine National Park. The park is in Patagonia, but it is not part of the Andes Mountain chain. It consists of Glaciers, Mountains, Torres, and Cuernos... which you will see in the pictures.

The W happens to be very popular. When I say popular I mean at our first campsite there were probably about 200 tents set up, not including those who were staying in the Refugio (backcountry hostel´s). Also common for this park is really bad, nasty weather. Wind, rain, snow, hail, etc. The last time Tony was here, he hiked this trail, and all he kept saying this time was ¨Wow, I didn´t know that was there, awesome! look at that, I had no idea we could see that!" - you get the idea...

Fortunately we somehow pleased the weather gods, and got four days of great weather! Two days we had rain and clouds, but we couldn´t have asked for a better trek to end our outdoor adventures in South America. Check out the pictures, they really speak for themselves... I´ll shut up now :)
