Torres del Paine National Park
10th December 2009
Before we set off for 8 days hiking in the Torres del Paine National Park, we were warned that the Patagonia weather can change in an instant and that strong gusts of cold wind can come out of nowhere to blow someone over. The forecast is always the same – variable!
.
We were fortunate to have perfect weather.
.
We camped in some amazing places, the mountain scenery breathtaking.
