The wild wild west scenery on way from Punta Arenas to Pueto Natales:

Guanacos wandering around in the park of Torres del Paine:

The Torres del Paine, looking from faraway outside park:

I went up to the base of the Torres at 5am to see the sunrise. Unfortunately, the Torres didn’t turn all red as we hoped. Not sure how those postcard pictures got those mystical colors, maybe need some special geological event.

The Glacier Grey is a giant glacier river flow into Lago Grey (lake Grey). The ice from the glacier breaks off at water mouth and became icebergs on the lake:

The Cuernos del Paine:

This is a bridge near park entrance/exit. It’s amazing how the driver can manage to drive a van across without scratching the car!
