Las Torres del Paine (17.11.2017)  

Hiking to the Mirador las Torres from Hotel las Torres in Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia.

The hike was simple - a wide, easy to walk path with a million people on it.... uglefisk (Paal Andre Lund) gikk hele turen med å si 'jævla 17. mai tog!'. We walked pretty steadily, gaining and losing elevation for the first 9km or up until around 570moh. From there it was a nice, steep push up to the viewpoint of Mirrador Las Torres, we welcomed the raise in heart rate after a few hours of meandering along the river!

A nice experience, but sadly we were pretty let down as our expectations of hiking here were really high. Way too many people and tourists and a lot of rubbish everywhere. We had planned to do the 10-day O-circuit but changed our plans because of this hike and left the park after only 1 day. Would have been a different story if we were climbers I think. We are definitely spoilt here in Norway...
