World's Largest Natural Art Gallery

I'd been told that the Torres de Paine National Park was one of the most beautiful of the world and I went there fully expecting the spectacular. What I didn't realize, though, was the beauty to be found in the small details of this immense natural reserve which make the trip so much more moving and memorable.

I've traveled a lot, but rarely have I enjoyed a place this much. Here, in the heart of the Chilean Patagonia, wherever you look there is beauty, texture, color, composition, forms...it's Art (with a capital A). With every step of the 5-hour hike in the shadow of the Torres, something took my breath away.

I was lucky with the weather because I went at the beginning of autumn and the explosion of color so strong that my photos came out looking saturated and impossible. When I first laid eyes on these millions of multicolored leaves, I recalled the feeling of looking at an Impressionist painting.

Mother nature at her very wildest

Torres del Paine is a place to really immerse yourself in nature, a place to think, to admire the grand works of mother nature at her very wildest. The best view of the park is from the Lake Grey campsite...you have the entire lake before you and the Cuernos del Paine in the background. The sense of power and calm that the place transmits makes it, for me, a truly unique place on planet Earth.

Unforgettable experience

Excellent

One summer, my brother an I decided to have an adventure and do the W Route through the Torres del Paine National Park. It was an unforgettable experience. We went through all the campsites, saw some jaw-dropping landscapes, and did it all on foot over 5 days. If you're in the shape to do so, I'd recommend it 100%. You'll immediately fall in love with this amazing place.
