The literature will invariably tell you this is one of the finest trekking destinations in the world and that it can get very, VERY windy. Well, consider both confirmed.

With the addition that while we were there, it rained on the days we arrived and left and there was glorious sunshine on the three days in between. Can´t help but feel that we´ve been very lucky again. And that coming back in two weeks time might be disappointing unless the weather pulls off another miracle Oh well, one way to find out.

Anyway, the walks we did included the compulsory Torres del Paine Lookout, a walk up the even better (far more varied, ie hanging glaciers, mountain streams, unspoilt forest, 360 degree views of an amphitheater including the other side of the Cuernos del Paine, etc, etc) Valle de Frances (aka French Valley) and a quick walk up the Mirador Condor with panoramic (insanely windy, could barely stand up!) views of the light blue Lago Pehoe. Awesome.
