Torres del Paine

5 days of trekking through the Chilean national park "Torres del Paine" in january 2010.

By boat to the lodge Paine Grande, a roundtrip to Glacier Grey, along Lago Nordenskjold to the Refugio Los Cuernos, on to the Hosteria Las Torres, to the foot of the Torres and back. See this beautiful park, the great glaciers, the wonderful lakes and the amazing birds including the Andean Condor.

This park is well worth the trip to Chili even in high season (january/february), the weather can be harsh but we had a lot of sun and just a few small rain showers. The Chilean people are very hospitable.

great video. we were there in december 2010 and had slightly harsher conditions. i was just curious what kind of camera you used to film?

@rugulach Thanks for liking the video. I used a SONY HDR-XR500 camera. Not the smallest HD-camera out there but it has a great steady shot function that makes video shot while walking or from a moving car still watchable. And it can take some abuse without being damaged. I used it in cold, hot and wet weather without problems. And in the desert for Burning Man with a lot of dust. So i'm quit happy with it.

One of the best videos i've seen from this fantastic place.

Sadly, fire destroyed all we see here due to an irresponsable tourist.

Greetings from Chile =)

Un abrazo weon!
