Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

This visit was dogged by bad weather, but that has to be anticipated anywhere in Patagonia, particularly in the mountain country. However my accommodation at the Hotel Las Torres, created on the pioneer Estancia (i.e. ranch or sheep station) of that name, offered activities such as horse(back) riding to maximise opportunities for the visitor.

These images were taken with Nikon D300 using RAW format, and are available for licensing.
