Photography Tour in Torres del Paine
The best photos of Torres del Paine aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Base of the Torres and Grey Glacier will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Lago Pehoe viewpoint for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Torres del Paine National Park is a 935-square-mile wilderness in Chilean Patagonia, famous for its three granite towers (the Torres) rising to 8,530 feet and the dramatic horn-shaped peaks of the Cuernos del Paine. The park contains glaciers, icebergs, guanaco herds, and one of the most famous multi-day treks in the world — the W Trek. Patagonian weather is notoriously fierce, with winds regularly exceeding 60 mph.
