Towers of Pain

We set off for Torres Del Paine today and will be gone for about 9 days. We're both super excited and can't wait to get on the trail.

There are a number of options for trekkers, but one of the most popular ways is called the W. Basically, trekkers dip in and out of the best areas and the path forms a W shape. The W takes about 4 to 5 days.

Instead we're doing the full circuit, and in a way a bit longer than the traditional way. We'll hike in from the administration center (see the yellow trail marker) and hike in a counterclockwise direction. The path that we will take will form a Q shape, hence it is called the Q.
