Torres del Paine national park is stunning. Looking at my pictures now, it’s hard to believe that I was actually there; the sunlight was so bright, the water so sparkly, the rocks so jagged, I could barely take it all in.
Torres del Paine can be visited as a day trip from Puerto Natales, Chile or (as a very long day trip from) El Calafate, Argentina. Camping is permitted, but be extremely careful with fire – whole sections of the park have been scorched away due to uncontrolled campfires.
