- Paine Circuit

            Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia

    Dec. 27, 2002 ~ Jan. 3, 2003

    In my personal opinion, this is the best trekking route I ever had - hiking on the grassland, through chrysanthemum field, into the forest, cross the rock pass, along with the glacier and lakes...you can see lots of fantastic scenery in this trail.  We backpacked (everything) and cooked all the way, but actually they have well developed service - in most of campsites they offer hot shower, tents, sleeping bags, meals, and some basic food - and people there are extremely nice, too.

    This is the major part of my Chile trip. You can us the "date buttons" below for details on this trial only, or click here for the whole Chile trip.
