Chile, Torres del Paine


View all Torres del Paine photos
Aptly named as after five-days lugging around 15kg backpacks, tents and stoves across 60 miles of mountain terrain, it felt like a Tour of Pain. But the panorama made up for my bleeding blisters. It was truly beautiful, sorry to sound like a guidebook but it really was brimming with magnificent jutting mountains, turquoise lakes, gushing waterfalls and sparkling glaciers. And best of all, there were no guides or tour groups, so we could completely immerse ourselves in the wilderness, filling up our water bottles from fresh spring streams and camping each night at a different location. If you don't like scenery shots, probably best to look away now.
