The famous Torres del Paine Nationalpark

And suddenly I am in Chile 🇨🇱😊 and again, new country, new accent of Spanish and new currency.

After a long bus ride from El Calafate, I arrived to windy and rainy Puerto Natales, the departure town to Torres del Paine Nationalpark, a dream for every hiker on that planet. The next day another bus and an incredible boat ride brought me to the Paine Grande base camp where I booked one night to do 7hrs day hikes on the same day and the next (which was ambitious!).

Lucky with the weather, the first day I enjoyed my hike alone to glacier Grey. The second I was lucky to meet Jason, an American from CA with fascinating life stories to tell. After we had heartwarming conversations on our way to Camp Italia, some amazing views on the way and a bottle of red wine 🍷 I left totally happy and satisfied back to Puerto Natales. Jason, you really made my day! 😅Read more
