It was so, sooo windy at the lookout spot we had hiked to, I had to hold on to my camera very carefully to aim.

Lovely photos. The views are stunning, but I’m not sure I’d like a lot of wind (my least-favourite weather type!).Fantastic blue skies. 🙂

When we came to this very windy peak, I actually was pretty happy for the wind because I managed to lose an aggressive bee/wasp (don’t know what it was but it was huge) that had been tailing me for a long time! It was too windy for him! 😉

It sounds like a hornet – they’re a lot bigger than wasps. I can understand you being grateful for the wind! 🙂

Could be! Later on I read that there exists a dangerous species that is aggressive and follows you around… never really thought about such things before this! 😉

I recall buying a bus ticket from somewhere in the south of Chile, only to find it it was three buses, three boats, high through the Andes, across glorious glacial lakes. A most unforgetable experience, pure wild country, and so beautiful. your pictures reminded me of that, thankyou.

Thanks! Quite a “bus trip”, hahah! I can imagine you must’ve seen some amazing scenery with those glacial lakes and that pure wilderness. We didn’t go to Chile – we’re saving it for another trip maybe in the future 🙂

yeah it was quite the trip ( despite the chronic diarohea from eating at a farmers house were I stayed on the first night) all the more so because I didnt know what I was getting in for. They just told me it was a bus ticket! The scenery was spectacular.
You’ll love Chile – you must go there next time. Chile was my favourite country in Latin America – the people were so warm, friendly, helpful, open, lovely. and that was during the days of the pinochet regime.
so plan to go there next trip! Puerto Varas and Puerot Monte are glorious 🙂

Thanks for the tips, I’ll have to look those up!!! I’m always interested in getting tips for future travels and many people praise Chile. Lately I’ve been hearing of a lot of positive experiences at Torres del Paine 🙂

I had serious dysentry in Santiago, which went down to common garden diarrhoea as i headed south I just got used to it. It wasnt going to stop me enjoying some of the most spectacular scenery this world has to offer!

Beautiful view! Funny, but it looks so calm, not windy at all 😉

I know 🙂 I thought it was a bit funny, too. It’s hard to describe the wind when you can’t see any trace of it, no trees bent or anything!

Incredible photos and views! I especially love the one with the river. It’s perfectly framed and would make a great postcard. South America is definitely on my list.

We’ll have to do the rest of South America another time, Argentina kept us fully occupied for this whole trip (plus a short diversion to Uruguay). There’s so much to see in Argentina, it’s such a long country with different climates and different kinds of experiences.

Uruguay? Have you posted here about that? would love to see the pictures….. interested to see how it has changed since I was there ( it was quite some time ago) – Montevideo was an adorable sleepy country town at that time…. 🙂

No, not a bad hike, there was a ski lift for part of the way up and the rest we hiked 🙂 It just took us a long time because I had to stop to take photos all the time! 😉

It was surely worth all the stops though, these photos are so beautiful 🙂 Every photo would have been blurred if I were the one on a lift (fear of heights haha).

We started with Argentina and Uruguay one year, too, and by the next year we were in Chile! I can attest that the Torres del Paine National Park is quite a place, as you mentioned above. We hiked the full Paine circuit, but there are lots of shorter options if you don’t want to camp for over a week and/or hike that long.
