This is a truly beautiful video. Suddenly leaving Summer slowly behind, here in the UK, doesn't feel so bad. Thank you.

We are on Big Stone! My great grandpa built the cabin in 1958. Absolutely love it up there…especially since I live in Texas and the summers here can be rough.

Que hermosa ciudad, una ciudad de 8 millones de habitantes en la que se ve tanto verde y no se escucha bocinas de los autos.

Hola Hola. Greetings from Mexico Great seeing your Video. What month did you do this trip? Seems like you guys had the park to yourself. Am planing to do this trip with a friend in late September any recommendations on what to book or pack. Still have some months to go but would like to get as much info before I go.

We did the hike in late November. We got extremely lucky with weather. Dispite the trails looking empty, the park was at capacity. We decided to leave each morning around 6am instead of the standard 8am avoiding large groups. If it is just you and another going, I highly reccommmend going WITHOUT a guide. You can go at your own pace, and the trails are very clearly marked. If you do get turned around, you see other hikers every 5minutes or so. Just about any booking agency is worth it. W-Trek from Torres Base to Refugio Paine is the route to go (East to West). Standard hiking clothing, good boots, hydration pack, a rain coat, waterproof backpack (or backpack rain cover). I can not stress this enough, buy or rent HIKING POLES. I have never hiked with poles before, and its a game changer especially on rough terrain. My group used 42L Cotopaxi brand backpacks. Made for air travel (carryon) and hiking. Have all the space you need and are water resistant. Good luck and have a blast!

*The name "Patagonia" is absolutely of Chilean origin; there is no "Argentine Patagonia"; This was a contemporary appropriation (theft) by the Argentines, which they later took advantage of for purely commercial-tourist purposes* "Patagonia" derives from the expression "Patagones" with which the Portuguese navigator, Hernando de Magallanes (1480-1521) called the natives and aborigines who inhabited an area of the southern Atlantic coast that he called “Puerto de San Julián”, and all these territories legally belonged, de jure, to Chile and its direct predecessor: the Reino de Chile or the Capitanía General de Chile (1541 to 1776) Not even two centuries later, in 1776, when the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata was created (the direct predecessor of today's Argentina), those territories belonged to them; because the geographical limits to the south of that viceroyalty were only from Buenos Aires to Mendoza. One hundred years later, in 1881, while Chile was in full war in the north with Peru and Bolivia; The Argentines took advantage of the Chilean defenselessness in the south, and ended up appropriating all of Chile's eastern Patagonia and, of course, the port of San Julián. And this is how Argentina maliciously appropriated Chilean eastern Patagonia (the mostly desert part that we see on satellite maps) and is also now trying to take over, for tourist and commercial purposes, an ethnic-cultural history in which it never participated. Finally, the Patagonians - Aonikenk or Tehuelches - were not only found in the surroundings of Puerto San Julián (the eastern Chilean territory STOLEN by Argentina) but also carried out mostly their activity, intercultural exchanges and settlements in the vicinity of the Strait of Magellan and in less measured in the Torres del Paine National Park (Lake El Toro), both Chilean sites.

Ian, thanks for the video. It looks like you had a great time and fantastic weather. I’m doing the W soon and wondering how long it took you to complete the Mirador Base Torres hike from Central on your second day?

@ianliegeois 7 ай бұрын

From Central to Las Torres Base is about 6 hours one way. The last hour was very intense, but the end goal was well worth it. Good luck!
