Parque Nacional Torres del Paine

Lisa, Jon, and I flew down to Punta Arenas from Santiago on Sunday, February 11. Punta Arenas is the city located on the Straight of Magellan on the southernmost part of the American Continent. From Punta Arenas we took a bus 3 hours north to Puerto Natales, a smaller town which is the staging point for camping trips to Torres del Paine National Park. In Puerto Natales we rented all the gear that we would need for our 5 day 4 night camping and hiking trip at Parque Nacional Torres del Paine.
We woke up early on Tuesday morning, February 13th and took a bus from Puerto Natales to the park entrance. We first took a half hour Catamaran ride that took us past the Cuernos which you can see in this picture.
