If we knew what we now know prior to arriving at Torres Del Paine we may not even have a story to tell. Having said that we were given 3 separate yet slight warnings which we chose to ignore out of pure naivety.. Here are the warnings: 1. "If you do it, I hope to see you back here alive" 2. "The pass is closed, don't do the Grande, no rangers or...

Ya que los suizos nos despertaron muy temprano, y la navegación por el lago Grey estaba prevista para las 13 horas, nos decidimos hacer una mini excursión para ir hasta un mirador donde se podía divisar el glaciar. Antes, desayunamos fuera del refugio porque no habíamos reservado desayuno ya que llevábamos nuestras propias provisiones. Y no veas...

It is capital of the Province of Última Esperanza, situated by the Señoret Channel facing the Andes Mountain Range. Puerto Natales is also the gateway to ...

Thursday December 27th, Parque Nacional Torres del Paine - AVOID THE MILODON There were only about 8 people in the hostel last night, so the shortage of bathrooms was not a problem, and again breakfast was excellent. Owner Olmar knows how to put on a good spread. The hotel bus picked up us and all our luggage at 7.30am, and we found ourselves in...

We all arrived (Liam, Nick and us) from a warm and sunny El Calafate to a damp and cold Puerto Natales! After finding a hostel to stay in for the night we set about the task of finding camping equipment to hire for the next 5 days to see us through the Torres del Paines National Park and the trail known as the "W", which is a trekking route of a...
