'W' is for wow!

Upon arriving in Puerto Natales on 29 Sept, we quickly organised hiring some camping equipment and buying some food, and set off for Torres del Paine National Park.



Having done a bit of research, we decided to walk the 'W' route round the park, taking in some of its most famous sites, including the Torres themselves, the Horns, the Frances valley and the Grey Glaciar. We were blessed with 3 days of perfect sun, and no wind, pretty much unheard of in the park, especially at this time of year. As usual, you can check my Tagzania page to get an idea of where we walked.

I could probably try and spend days writing about the experience, but here are a few photos. It's enough to say it was a exhausting but stunning 3 days.
