So, what can one do for 12 days in Torres del Paine National Park??? Not escape the rangers, that´s for sure, so we paid our entrance fee of 6500 chilean pesos (10 dollars). This one is actually the only park in Chile which charges tourists more than locals. Now what do you think of that???

I guess people have different ways of letting time pass but we passed it mainly walking. Did the famous ´Circuit´ and also the now even more famous (at least more popular) ´W´, had some rest and lazy days inbetween and enjoyed life. Ok, the park is a big tourist attraction and has become very commercial (I hope we will never build hotels and all that in the Icelandic highlands) but still I absolutely love it and can actually not think of any single trek I´ve done so far that I´ve enjoyed more. The weather played a big part, it was so good that it was almost uncanny. Sun every single day. Not windstill and not entirely dry either, but we never got wet walking and never had to wait for the weather to clear up. Pretty good for an area notorious for its unstable weather.
