We woke up at 5am on Saturday, February 17th in order to make the one hour climb (in the dark) to the mirador to view the sunrise on the Torres del Paine. After stumbling through the dark, and then nearly getting blown off the top of the mountain(the winds were even stronger this day, I would guess gusts were up to 50+ mph, meaning at times I had to crouch down to avoid getting blown away), we got a spectacular view of the sunrise hitting the Torres del Paine. (granite pillars that rise to 2800m).
This was quite the finish to our awesome camping trip in Parque Nacional Torres del Paine.
After viewing the sunrise we returned to camp, packed up and then hiked half the day down the mountain to the bus stop.
