Chile in a nutshell
Week 30 – We are spending our last week in Santiago where we have organised the sale of our car. That’s it, we are no longer overlanders but just backpackers… with a lot of luggage!
View from the Rio Serrano, Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
This is one of my first attempts at long exposure photos. I’ll have to get better at it!
Mirador Cuernos, Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile
This one was not really a hike, let’s say it was more of a walk. It only takes 1 hour to go to the Mirador Cuernos on a very easy path. The real challenge of this one is the wind as it can reach gusts of 90km/h which are very hard to resist!
The revenge of the Mirador Base del Torres… almost!
In December, at the end of the W circuit, we had done a part of this hike, but we stopped at Refugio Chileno…

It was the fifth and last day of our expedition in the Torres del Paine! From the Torres Central campsite, the last hike leads to the Base de Las Torres. This is the most famous of the park
Parque Nacional Torres del Paine – Day 4, Patagonia, Chile
In the same way that day 3 ended, day 4 started in incredibly calm and sunny Patagonia… Had we been transported to another country or another dimension?!
Parque Nacional Torres del Paine – Day 3, Patagonia, Chile
This day began with a very beautiful 7 km walk to the Italiano campsite where we had planned to stop because it is the starting point of a detour to the Valle del Francès.
Parque Nacional Torres del Paine – Day 2, Patagonia, Chile
This was our first actual walking day. We will have 4. The goal was to hike the 11 km to join the second shelter we had booked: the Refugio Paine Grande.
Parque Nacional Torres del Paine – Day 1, Patagonia, Chile
The Torres del Paine was the HIGHLIGHT of our visit of the Chilean Patagonia! We were looking forward to it and we were absolutely not disappointed.
