Torres Of Pain!

We hired a Jeep with a few friends and set out to the Torres Del Paine National Park, one of Patagonias (Chile side) most popular attractions for the outdoor enthusists. After driving 2 hours through the south of the park, which had recently been scorched by wild fire that claimed half of the national park, we embarked on our grueling hike. 


24 kms, 8 hours from start to finish, it was  up up up!!! With reaching the base camp, then further to the view point of the natural monument that is Torres Del Paine, it was nothing short of spectacular. 


It was a true test for our fitness!
