Torres Del Paine W Trek
... average per day up and down. We were quite lucky and got booked on the trek the next day because there was a cancellation. There isnt much to do in Puerto Natales itself, it was a fishing port but now does well out of the tourism for Torres Del Paine and the houses are quite funny as they are made of steel.

Day 9 - Glacier Grey/Puerto Natales - Chile
... Patagonian Ice fields - it was very impressive. The descend down was fine and now feel much confident in mountain hiking! I couldn't wait to get back to base as I was absolutely exhausted and my ankle was in absolute pain.
