Day 1: Driving into the National Park, we were treated to a very rare and amazing view of the Torres
Day 1: Walked from our drop off at Hosteria Las Torres up to Mirador Los Torres and back to Camp Chileno (13.5km) - we (myself and two Venezuelan lads) had to cross quite a few frozen streams and waterfalls on the way up the river. Magic day.
Day 1: Torres del Paine from Mirador Los Torres
Day 1: I saw a woody woodpecker - my first ever!
Day 2: Walking from Camp Chileno to Camp Italiano (21km), view of Lago Nordenskjöld
Day 2: Cuernos del Paine
Day 2
Day 2: Rio (something) next to Camp Italiano looking up Valle del Frances towards Cerro Paine Grande
Day 2: Making camp at Camp Italiano
Day 3: Walking up Valle del Frances I was treated to an awesome avalanche on Paine Grande (fortunately on the other side of the valley)
Day 3: Crap visibility at the top of Valle del Francés (near Camp Britanico)
Day 3: Back at Camp Italiano, about to pack up and head to Camp Paine Grande (18.6km)
Day 3: ... and the clouds part after I leave the valley!
Day 4: Frozen lake on my day walk from Camp Paine Grande to Glaciar Grey (30km)
Day 4: Glaciar Grey was clearly named in the days before colour TV, as it is decidedly blue. View from near Camp Grey.
Day 4: I walked beyond the 'W' up to Camp Los Guardas to get a view of the glaciar from above - I was the only person on this part of the track that day, having a glaciar to yourself isn't bad!
Day 4: Meeting of Glaciar Grey and Lago Grey from Camp Los Guardas
Day 4: View of Paine Grande from the West
Day 4: Not a sunset - still only about 2pm!
Day 4
Day 5: I had planned to hike back up to Camp Britanico to get a better view of the Cuernos... but the weather had other ideas. I stayed in the refugio (soft, I know). I hiked out on the morning of Day 6 (18km). I covered a touch over 100km in 5 days of walking... knackered, but well worth it!
