It feels strange to be back to civilization after 5 days of being in beautiful (but crowded) wilderness. We just got back from a backpacking trip to the Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile. We did the ´W´ circuit - about 45 miles of hiking through some of the most amazing landscapes I´ve seen: Andean desert, Patagonian steppe, Magellan deciduous forests and glacial lakes.
The place was crowded. Teeming. Overflowing. But there were still times when you were given some solitude to marvel at the beauty of it all.
I´ll let a few random pictures speak for the place.
Off for a shower and some warm sit-down food now!
Wow, what landscapes! I'm highly envious of you guys!! The 2nd pic from top is out of this world!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, amazing, amazing. I want all of your trip notes when you're back, so I can stand in these beautiful places!
ReplyDeleteThanks Prashant and Krista.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing place and we only scratched the surface this time....there´s definitely a second trip in the making!
