Torres del Paine - W trek

Torres del Paine is a beautiful national park in the Chilean Patagonia. you can do a number of hiking treks. naturally I picked the easier W trek - only 5 days and 4 nights

day 1: the only day with bad weather

first was a hike to glacier grey

i was so cold in my 8 layers...i wore basically everything in my backpack

I had to carry all my food, but you can just drink the water from the streams so I didn't have to lug around H20

glacier grey was more like 50 shades of blue

day 2: hike back to where i started and past to the next campsite

it was beautiful weather and much warmer

the entire park is stunning

you can find beauty in every direction

the sunsets over the lakes were spectacular

day 3: hike to a viewpoint behind torres del paine
