Parque Nacional Torres del Paine (Chile) 2007

In February of 2007, we took a short trip to southern Patagonia, during which we backpacked the 123-km circumambulation of the Cordillera Paine massif.

We spent 8 nights and 9 days hiking the trail, and the vistas were spectacular. A few photos are below.

Very nice pictures and great narration. I particularly like the way you frame the scenery with people. Very intriguing and will sure change the way I take this kind of pictures in the future. Thanks!!
