My best place

It is really difficult for me to choose a place as the best, but I am going to pick “Torres del Paine” National Park, in the Chilean Patagonia. This is a great place to view amazing landscapes and to make friends.

The first time when I was there was in the summer of 2014 with my girlfriend and other 3 friends. We had read a lot about the park and exercised to prepare ours bodies for the trip, but nothing was enough. Was a very exhausting experience, but everything worth the effort.

The trip started in the lovely city of Puerto Natales and there we took a bus to the park. There, we started to walk in the side to a river until a flower field that we needed to go across until the first camp.

After that, we walked in a trees surrounded way and at the end could see a hanging glacier with a lovely lagoon. The most exhausting day, was the most exciting too. We hike up a big hill and in the top we could see the grey Glacier, and giant and amazing piece of ice, we were breathless with the view.

Every time that we arrived to a camp, we find the same people, so we were as a big family. Sometimes we met people on the way and we could help them or cheer up. In the afternoon we could share a peanut and a good and hot “mate”.

The best part of the trip was to be under the beautiful “Cuernos del Paine” and to finish a great trip, to reach the famous “Torres del Paine” and to see the sunset there.

I have returned there once, and I want to return again.
