Torres del Paine NP – The “W” Trek Day 4

Our last and final (half) day in the park; today’s hike was not more than a three hour walk (mostly flat) up to a viewpoint to see Grey Glacier and back to the mountain lodge. The views of Grey Glacier were very impressive at this time … but ridiculous compared to what was to come the next few days back in Argentina.

From the mountain lodge we took the 12:30 ferry to get back to Puerto Natales in the early evening.

Into Torres del Paine NP

Here we were – on our way to Torres del Paine National Park, on the way to four days in the wild, four days hiking the W trek, three nights in a tent – but first we had to endure a three hours ride in a van to actually get to the park.

We had a few stops on the way to enjoy the views – until we finally reached the park entrance. From here it was only a matter of minutes – and an interesting bridge crossing – to get to the starting point for today’s hike.
