I'm back from my excursion to the south. There were three main parts to the trip:
- A tour of Torres Del Paine National Park (Named after the tower shaped mountains)
- A boat cruise through glaciers
- Punta Arenas, a small town nestled into the Straight of Magellan
There was such magnificent natural beauty that I was blown away. (I was also blown away by the 80 mile per hour winds that can accumulate at Chile's Southern tip.) My eyes literally felt tired by the end of the trip from trying to soak up as much as possible. I'm breaking up the trip into 3 parts so that I don't overwhelm with pictures.
The view when we first entered the park:
A pack of alpacas beneath the mountains from which the park gets its name:

The towers:
Again, but closer this time:
A waterfall created by melting snow:
My favorite spot in the park, we also got to enjoy lunch while staring at this view:
A fox who wanted to join us for lunch:
A few glaciers floating in one of the many lakes throughout the park:
The wind was so strong that you could lean back and it would support your entire body weight:
That concludes our trip to Torres Del Paine. Bueno Bye!
