A few thoughts…..
Patagonia is a place I always thought to be enigmatic due to its remote location and unique landscape ……..and it did not disappoint. The rough, rugged, inhospitable climate, which can change in a moment's notice, winds racing by at over 120 mph. The majestic landscape with towering granite spears overlooking …

... be in the rucksacks. We were also encouraged to get walking poles. Naturally we were averse to this and have spent some time making fun of hikers we have seen with them. However Torres del paine typically has winds of 70 km an hour, reaching up to 110. I am afraid of being blown off a mountain with our huge rucksacks so we have opted for more stability with poles. We are gonna look good! Our bulging bags are just about packed and weigh ...
Day 8 - Torres Del Paine - French Valley - Chile

TravelPod Member ReviewsAltiplanico Sur Puerto Natales
The theme of this hotel is to blend in with the environment as much as possible with the outside made from mud blocks which make the hotel look like part of the landscape. It overlooks the lovely Ultima Esperanza Sound ( Last Hope Sound). The service is excellent and the hotel boasts a really great restaurant.
