We spent 3 days in this UNESCO World Heritage Biosphere and it´s not surprising why it´s classified this way. We´ve seen jaw dropping scenery all the way down from Santiago, but Torres del Paine really is the pinical of Patagonia.
And this is my favourite shot...
Even the photos don´t do this place justice. The Torres (towers) are so majestic, you can literally sit and stare at them for hours on end.
Because we´re so far south (about 52 degrees latitude), the sun doesn´t set until 11pm and rises again at 4.30am! I got up one night from our tent to pee (and dodge pumas!) and saw the most stars I´ve ever seen, just incredible!
This waterfall was so powerful. There were no barriers or anything, so you could have just jumped if you were nuts enough. All the water is basically melted ice from the glaciers.
One thing is for sure, Torres del Paine will stick in our memories forever!
